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
There is a reason, well, at least two reasons. First is greed the second is the greedy ones also enjoy the cruelty.
If not the cruelty they are often convinced (or have convinced themselves) that poverty is deserved, like their opulence is.
Just today there was a post on how most Americans believe poverty is the result of individual choices.
