We have so many houses going unused. We have food and resources for everybody, but we’ve set up a system that arbitrarily concentrates most of it on a few people! Young children, with no understanding why society is this way, are suffering and dying because they live in a world that collectively agrees to let this happen unnecessarily

Fuck, I’m stoned but you know I’m right

Edit: and the sad thought hits me: the first step is realizing the system doesn’t have to be this way, the second step is realizing it isn’t going to change, at least not any time soon

    Every year capitalists kill 10 million people by withholding food, medicine, and clean water. All because it isn’t profitable to them personally.

      This. This is the reality and the root cause of a lot of the issues regarding homelessness, starvation and preventable illness in the world.

      Aggressive capitalists value money more than anyone’s, and everyone’s life.

      They will let you die to bump their profits a fraction of a percent.
