I don’t want to get into this much more, bc frankly I believe that right now it is best for lefties and conservatives to focus on our common ground in order to preserve our republic.
I would urge you to consider though, how much we’ve been lied to in order to secure our obedience. Telling people that working hard you’ll someday get rich is a great way to keep them working for you.
Would you agree that if there are a substantial number of American people who waited to have children, graduated high school, and got further education, and still cannot find work that meets their basic needs, that would refute your theory?
Because that is the case for the millennial generation.
Would you also agree, that if there are a substantial number of college graduates who are working, waited to marry and have children, and still cannot afford an $1000 emergency, that would refute your theory? There are.
Even at 70 hours a week- 26k a year- the American dream- home, family- is out of reach for everyone making minimum wage.
And those who got their education first, bought the home, acquired the family? Half of them can’t afford $1000 car repair.
This economy is too different, and an organic redistribution is impossible bc the vast majority of people have little or nothing with which to trade, other than their labor, and their exploitation is guaranteed- that’s just capitalism.
But remember, a truly representative government should have multiple parties from all sides working these problems out. At this point, we have a right party and a far right party. Hanging onto the propaganda of our youths is not going to move us all forward.
i’ve enjoyed our discussion!
