But you see, if you don't work the owner class can't have permanent vacations and a revolving door of material pleasures. I mean, you need to eat?
Fuck
My boss has a personal chef. I can't afford a house.
Yeah, that's fucked up. I still don't ever understand why us Americans aren't in the streets tearing the whole country down to the ground because of the shit that we live in.
Because if I do it my family is hurt and we have no home. Its no guarantee anyone will be out there with me. Protests take years of planning, years we don't have anymore. I want to riot, but I don't see it accomplishing anything. Not without an organized front with articulate goals.
Because then you'd be in even deeper shit. Just breaking things isn't going to solve your problems. You need to come up with a better alternative and by better I mean something that actually works and doesn't just sound nice.
