#but yknow colonization undeniably kinda contributed to my family's financial situation

I really do hate the meritocratic notion that poor people are people that aren't working hard enough which is why they are poor in the first place, like I'm sorry we could've prolly been "middle class" if it weren't for the fact that my country has been colonized three times by Spain, America and Japan for about 500 years which rendered my ancestors impoverished

#anti capitalism #i got lucky tho since my great grandparents were able to buy land since they were really cheap at the time #and my grandmother married a guy with a well-paying job #still poor though #but yknow i couldve had it worse #its not as if people didnt have some freedoms at the time #but yknow colonization undeniably kinda contributed to my family's financial situation #poverty is inherited pass it on #yeah yknow wars kinda do make people's living situation shit #something something the economy is shit because of them
