Just think about it! It’ll be easy to cut ties, just get a job with an easy employer and move out! If only…

    Any necessity should be nationalized and given. How tf are people supposed to work on issues (wound/trauma healing) when constantly exposed, without time for rest and recovery, to the same or similar traumatizing events? No. Give homes and competent, comprehensive health care, along with healthy foods and decent clothing. After recovery, people can contribute back to societies in meaningful, sustainable ways. But that would mean the end of wage slavery or literal chattel slavery (via social constructs, such as prison or threat of deportation), and billionaires and corporations being heavily taxed, and we can’t have that now, can we?

        🫂 I’m so sorry. It is not “only a single anecdote.” So many people share similar experiences, with specific details swappable. But society stigmatizes feeling a way about our circumstances, when the circumstances are what needs changing, and that’s the truth.

        I’m grateful you have shelter. I hope you have somewhat decent? meals?

        Does anyone reading know if there’s some sort of help or mutual aid community on Lemmy? If people could chip in a buck here, five there, I bet a lot of us could use the help.

      If everyone is just given everything for free, who is going to pay for it all? That’s just putting other people into slavery to pay for all the people who want to mooch off society.

        That’s what wealthy elites lazy always say, right before they crash the economy. 1929 much?
