i wish i wasnt so scared of everything
#i wanna protest and shit but im a pussy and scared of getting in trouble#and i have no way of actually going to one and i dont even know where there is one#i wanna make a fucking difference in the world but how do i even do that#i can barely order my own food how tf am i going to fix the world#and i know that there are others who want to fight for the same things i do so im not alone#but i cant help but feel alone when the only people who feel this strongly about wanting to change the world seem to only exist in history#i know that there are people out there who feel the same way as me but they all seem to have that military mindset#yk thinking of people not as individuals but as an amalgamation of humans#to really make a difference you have to challenge everything they dont want you to challenge#if you see all people as a whole you see the same thing rich fucks do but if you see people as individuals with lives you are challenging it#we arent just disposable like rich white men think we are#we have to treat each other like real human beings and not as part of a statistic#humans werent meant to have this big of a society because at the end of the day we are mammals#you dont see wolves being in packs of millions you dont see any animal doing that and we are all just animals#so if we want to make this big fucking society work everybody has to have the same ammount of power#but with greedy fucks cant let that happen or else theyre just another brick in the wall#anyways im done rambling#i hope you guys understand at least a bit of this is you cared to read

👁️👄👁️!!!?? I watched this and not you telling yesterday and warning us about class warefare at telling it will be biggest and so messy ??? this seemed very much a class warefare to me (please watch what do u say) but MY JAW DROPPED ngll
Oh man. There’s so much to unpack. I guess today is my day of hot takes. We need to stop ignoring the white male plight. I already hear people being defensive because they are the privileged class, but let’s get deep. Why do you think most mass murderers in America are white men? What is happening to them? In the old world, white men held privilege in a mostly blue collar workforce & more dominantly attended college. I started really thinking about this because I had a well off white male friend in college who was just absolutely failing & couldn’t get his shit together. Why? He has all the privilege. He didn’t have to work & support himself fully like I did. Their plight is they no longer know their place & they are completely demotivated. Women, especially black women, are more educated than them, the backbone of their job opportunities are being lost to automation, they are also experiencing the horrors of capitalism. That’s why white men say shit like I’m not privileged I had to work my ass off. That’s why white men are the ones who most commit suicide. In a world that still demands men to be the providers, many are finding they cant provide & feel utterly emasculated. This is why you see mass shootings and the incel movement coming into being. These are emasculated men asserting a traditionally masculine quality—aggression— as a way to create some significance, to be remembered, to have done something. The thing is even white men are negatively impacted by the capitalist patriarchal society that gives them power. We need to stop acting like they arent negatively impacted & they need to realize their privilege. Even deeper. This fighting between poor people is what keeps the rich people rich. They feed us little arguments to keep us distracted, here have some celebrity drama (remember hunger games & how the winners were being used to distract from the truth, well, it’s no surprise the big media players are also part of the ruling class, celebrities are still part of the underclass, another hot take I can address if you want), here’s some feminazi & incel stuff to rile you up, poor white people be mad at poor black people, republicans hate democrats. We get attached to our identities & identify with our opinions so personally they become who we are, as we get so caught up in fighting for our 67% of the pie amongst each other instead of working together to take back 33% of the pie. How does the 1% own 33% of our resources, hmm? What math is that? You wanna know the root cause of crime? Socioeconomic status. Why? Because disadvantaged people are fighting other disadvantaged people for the small amount of resources they feel are available (think about gang violence & turf warfare). Add to that an ineffective government with a broken economy & I don’t see how we end up with anything but civil unrest. We, the younger people, are the masses & a lot of us are fed up with this broken system. There’s nothing to lose when you don’t have a house or retirement. People with nothing to lose, like mass murderers, become radicalized. Why? Because what else can they do! Now none of what I’m saying is meant to trivialize or undermine the very real issues of systemic racism & the very real issues the LGBTQIA+ community face. I’m not trying to trivialize those identities but I’m arguing one identity we all share is we are working class. We are not the owners in this basically feudal system, we are treated disposably & continue to see people who do nothing make millions while school teachers & nurses get jack shit. What if people were paid by how crucial they are to society? Interesting how the pandemic had all the essential workers, who barely make any money, working while rich people moved to Hawai’i or other places to work from home (I know not all people who work from home are rich). Are you seeing the picture I’m painting? Are you seeing the strikes and push to unionize?
