    Kinda a chicken and egg thing ain’t it? System sucks, I was born into a shit system, and learned from it, so now I’m a slave to it. What if I told you people are, on average, doing absolutely everything they can to not be paycheck to paycheck? Even the “welfare queens” I’m sure you’ll bring up next are a product of the fucked up system were born into. And also what if I told you people can be working on bettering their own positions while also pointing out that the system they are forced to take part in is absolutely rigged? Get the fuck outta here.

      Look, I was born into this system as well, but I don’t weep every night because of it. If you had a working brain you would know that using the system for your own good is better instead of totally opposing it, like it’s lava path and you’re too scared to jump over it.

      • Oprah Winfrey
      • George Soros
      • Larry Ellison
      • Kenny Troutt

      Just a few examples. These people got out of their poverty because they had the right idea in mind. But sure, it’s easier to “fuck capitalism” instead of moving your ass to become a better version of yourself.

        The system can be abused, sure. I also have a working brain and choose not to, because every person who has abused the system and gotten fat off it has done so off the suffering and legitimate work put in by those who are in less fortunate spots.

        The simple reality is that the system only works if you were born in the right spot, or if you’re one of those lucky enough to be pulled up, simply so some dumbass on a forum can go “see? See? It works sometimes! Use it to your advantage instead of complaining!” Fuck capitalism, not because it can’t be used to ones advantage but because it necessarily screws over anyone who isn’t frankly a psychopath, and fuck anyone who thinks it’s a good system.

          It’s like that in every system. You’re lucky you’re not living in the 1500s. Oh boy, I can’t even imagine how much you would whine at it.

            That may be the case, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t point out the flaws of the system and work to make them better. I’d probably be complaining about the aristocracy then, too. Hopefully in the place that fuckin beheaded them.

            I also don’t know why you seem to believe that someone can’t be bettering their own life while also complaining about the flaws of the system they’re in. You have problems walking and talking too?

              'Cuz I know these people don’t spend their whole day and night on social media. Idk, find a husband/wife and make them work for you. Seems like a good idea if you hate capitalism. Become the mini capitalist yourself!

                    That’s nice bud. I think if I continue this conversation it’d be considered “punching down” and frankly you don’t deserve to deal with that.

            Hmmm, which source is more trustworthy? Britannica with their biography, or Business Insider with their click-bait article? Hard to say…

              Business Insider is a digital media company that focuses on business, finance, and technology news, while Encyclopedia Britannica is a general knowledge encyclopedia

              So specialists vs randoms
