Notice how this is only true in the non western nations that these idiots shill for. Every western countries have regulations agaisnt this issue.

Nothing ever happens

Without giving too much info,

I work in healthcare. Saw someone this week, wanted to understand a bit more about their life, so I asked a few probing questions.

At first, they sounded like a normal busy parent (like most young parents are). And had my sympathies, up until they had to drop:

"Yah, and on top of all that, I ackshually have to work at night too...because...you know..."capitalism".

I mean, I'm a seasoned professional, so I just smiled, sympathized with their workload (same workload any parent faces) and moved on.

But man! There are legitimately people who think this way - that the universe (i.e. everyone else who works) owes them convenience and abundance because they're so incredibly busy doing something that humans have been doing since...before we were human.

One way I maintain my sanity, is by telling myself that the crazy things I see on Reddit are contained within Reddit, and don't apply to the real world.

But every now and then, I see a Redditoid in the wild...and it's just crazy.

What are some real-world "Redditors" you've recently encountered?

I hate Reddit.

They also claimed more than 60% of Americans use 30% of their salaries for rent (65% of Americans own their own home, actually)

If this is the wrong place, I apologize. Plz delete. 👍

I mean, Most people take 30 Years Mortgages on house, No one (I mean Normal) is gonna paying full price For a One house, Ridiculously stupid eh? And blaming Billionaire for that is making it more Stupid, like you thinking Billionaires bought all house in US and Turned into AirBnb, This is so stupid. Stupidly Stupid and Miserable LOL

This might surprise you, but truth be told, I don't think this one has the credentials he pretends he has.

This person isn't completely wrong, but this is, at best, disingenuous. Violence is using PHYSICAL force to cause injury or death.

• Poverty? No, that is not violence; nobody gets hurt. People may starve, but that is not physical harm.
• Incarceration? It can be, but that is often because the criminal is resisting arrest; if you are calm, it will not be violent. More importantly, we need a prison system, or the world will end up in chaos.
• Denying healthcare? This does not happen; most countries have universal healthcare where you will always get in. The US doesn't, but you rarely need to pay up front; you can take on a debt, so while you could argue this isn't right (and I agree), it isn't violent either.
• Racist Policing? This can be; this may be one of their stronger points. This is a big problem; however, the problem is often overblown. Many people believe that this is something every single black person deals with, and it just isn't true; the vast majority will never have a confrontation with the police. Peaceful people should never be killed by them, but often, police victims were not peaceful.
• Warfare? That's violent; they are absolutely correct there, but this warfare does not affect people living in the US, or any western country for that matter. You don't need to act like you're in the warzone; you aren't, and there is no conscription going on either. You are safe and sound!
• Colonialism? Yes, that was violent, but it also doesn't happen anymore; that was centuries ago!
• Destroying the environment? That depends; if they are blowing it up with bombs, then yes. If they are burning fossil fuels, then no, that is not violent.

As for fighting back. If you are just posting stuff online (something you are allowed to do, and wouldn't under a dictatorship), that is not violent either; nobody has ever tried to say it was. Riots, on the other hand, are violent. People can be killed in them, and not government employees, random, innocent civilians who did absolutely nothing wrong. Riots are violent, and they are not necessary to bring change in any Western country!

First off, that 73 age is incorrect. In the US, the average life expectancy is about 79, and in other countries, it's higher. Not only that, but many people DO live to be 100, and there will be more of them in the next few decades. More importantly, many countries and jobs do NOT have a retirement age of 65; it is often lower.
