like i know these people are technically meant to be our allies because they don’t own the means of production, but how the fuck do you spend more than my family’s annual income on fast food? how are we meant to find common ground with people who are able and happy to do this? visible-disgust

edit: turns out this is a repost. sorry. but still, i standby my disgust

    Guy seems to be a shitty person and wage thief from other context provided in the comments. Also, terrible taste in food.

    However, without that context and going by the post comment, it really seems a bit like unproductive bucket-crabbing and othering of fellow working-class people for winning the genetic lottery and not being born in poverty in a shit, hierarchical system based on inequality. Basically, to me, it seems like doing the work of promoting division in the working-class for free.

    Should someone stuck under the thumb of an agricultural or meat processing plant wage-slaver think the same of yourself? World’s shit enough without the in-fighting.

    Dunk on this guy because he’s a wage thief or has no culinary taste, not because he makes at least enough to rent a cardboard box in a nice part of Stockton.

      I wasn’t trying to other anyone, i was being kind of genuine: how are we as communists meant to find common ground with people so disconnected from the concept of economic hardship that they can throw money around like this? normally you can communicate your ideas to people and be understood (even by conservatives if you phrase it right) because at the end of the day, most people under capitalism are fucked over and living under capitalism sucks, but for this guy it presumably doesn’t suck. how do you get it through to someone like this that the current system is unbearable? because surely it doesn’t feel unbearable from where he’s standing.
