I read the headline thinking 'so what else is new' and then realized they weren't talking about the US. Here it wouldn't be news at all.
Over the past while, our government has essentially turned our welfare system into a parody of the US's. This guy makes the most amazing Lego sculptures, and it's so fucking sad he's going through this.
Capitalists are all greedy scum. I desperately wish the world realized this.
They do, the problem is the ones in power are all in on it.
I dunno', I still hear far too many people simping for the rich believing they all personally earned their riches and I hear far too many people still believing "capitalism" is just using money to buy things.
Ignorance is alive and well.
Yep.
I had a construction worker try to explain to me how Elon Musk is a genius who makes it possible for me to do my job (I work in the Space Industry, NOT for SpaceX) and I should be grateful he's creating those opportunities for me instead of hating on him. He got really mad about it when I didn't agree.
He got even angrier when I asked him why someone like him, on the lowest rung of the labor ladder, was simping like that. He had no answer though.
This is Northern Ireland. We don't have a government at the moment. not saying the Tories haven't fucked it over. But there is more to it.
