#hang on I think my favorite anticapitalism video game fan song has a quote about this

[lichtel-archive]

communist gang needs to address the fact that funerals are really expensive and usually not at all funded by the govt. like, you have to pay thousands of dollars JUST FOR BURIAL of your loved ones, esp if you don't permanently own any property (and owning property is becoming less and less common nowadays), even though humans have been burying our dead since before we got into agriculture... really fucked up

#these tags are so depressing. don't read them if you're in a shitty place rn. stay safe #[keith] #sorree I was just thinking abt the fact that fat ppl's families need to pay hundreds to thousands of dollars more for their funerals #I know it's more work but like. whyyyy isn't basic burial government funded!! even going straight into the ground no casket no service #can cost like 3000 dollars. and thats for thin ppl. why do you have to pay to die #hang on I think my favorite anticapitalism video game fan song has a quote about this #'if youd rather drop dead thats fine but you know that dropping down dead bears a fine' #LITERALLY. if you're so poor in this country that you see killing yourself as the only way out‚ your family will have to #go into debt if they want your body treated with an ounce of respect. #'you may waste your days but at least you were able / to pay off your grave since we leased you your cradle' #jesus fuck I hate capitalism #federal govt will be like 'yeah I can give you $255 <3 hope that pays your $3000 bill off!!' #'and if your loved one died from injuries they got while playing the role of our puppets in our wars? we can give you $2000!! #not even enough to literally dump their bare body in the ground' #some states will pay for basic burial or cremation if they have literally no way to pay. but even that isn't required at the federal level
