Now so many people have joined this cause (have had thier eyes opened) but for a long time, most people I was honest about how I felt about America's “wealth of stuff” came on the backs of slaves and mistreated children, judged me as a bad person because I wasn't willing to contribute to what we had going. It nice seeing the tide of public opinion start to move. But it wrinkles my brain to think the same people hated me for my issues with how we maintain our lives, that now try to preach to me the antiwork thesis.
I came from generational poverty in West Virginia and my mom broke her back to push our family into lower middle class. But when I was younger and expressing my concerns, she took it personal. She would ask how I could take all the hard work she did to give me a chance at a quality life and threw it away. I understand now better how she felt, and now that she is starting to see all the “retirement” money she worked so hard for is slipping away, she's making points to me I tried making 20 years ago… but I digress….
I guess the point I'm trying to make is, its real hard to ask people to reject the mindset they've used to survive thier whole lives, but once someone reaches a point where poverty starts effecting thier lives, it's alot easier for them to see our group struggle.
Let's not hate people because they are trying to survive. Let's Hate the system and be ready to welcome ANYONE to the struggle with open arms, no matter how strongly they hated you b4 they had thier eyes opened.
This is the only way.
Because as one day enough people will have taken the blue pill and see we have the means to actully make all this shit right.
I apologize for my long, focusless post. I'm having a low bout in my bipolor episode and It's hard to say all the words floating in my head clearly. I hope this helps someone.
Let's burn this fucker down.
