Just like in the hunger games, when Katniss and Gale wanted to leave District 12 and live in the woods, we need to leave our lives behind and run off into the forest.
Kidding but seriously though. Society has lost all of it’s meaning.
A capitalist society used to support the idea of an equal trading system. A system where goods were exchanged by their worth and valued accurately and accordingly.
Now everybody is experiencing the consequences of exploitation with low supply and high demand. There’s not enough skilled and educated workers and suppliers to meet the demands of capitalism.
Most people in the US today are working bullshit jobs. Jobs that don’t actually benefit society. Certain jobs that even thrive off people in poverty.
This is mainly due to the fact that nobody can afford college or a trade school.
For example, people working for Coca-Cola or McDonalds are contributing to the problem. Profiting off the poisoning of poor people.
Other jobs like CEO’s, bankers, stock brokers, investors, pharmacists, insurance agents, real estate agents, influencers, etc. They all profit off the less fortunate.
Don’t have enough money? Get a loan or credit card. Need some drugs to help with you with your poor health and lifestyle habits? Here’s a prescription. Don’t have enough money to buy a home? Sign this contract. Want to live and look like me? Buy my course.
It’s all a trap. People see and smell the cheese. They want it so bad so they go in for a taste and before they know it, SNAP! They can’t escape. They are trapped.
On the other hand, if they are actually working a valuable job that’s needed in society, they aren’t getting paid enough for it!
And we wonder why nurses/doctors and teachers are going into different fields even though they want to be nurses and teachers? They are not being paid enough! They are being exploited by the very system that promised to support them. And don’t tell me that nursing and teaching are not valuable skills.
The US government doesn’t support public health and education. If they did, healthcare would be free and universities would be free. Therefore, the US government does not have your best interest.
We need to stop participating in capitalism to truly stop it yet nobody is willing to give up their cars, phones, and houses. Stop supporting a government that profits off poverty. Stop going into debt. Stop making billionaires richer. Stop voting for corrupt politicians.
And that’s why nothing will change. Nobody wants to make those sacrifices to bring change.
