Political consciousness has eroded. The poor root for their capitalist billionaire oppressors. They no longer care to have the pride to fight for themselves.

Fair enough and thanks for answering. I know that can happen sometimes but, honestly, most people are just struggling. They’re not all out to get you.
Genuinely wondering, what does that even mean? How do you think a person who is homeless or poor would “take advantage” of $5 or food you give them?
Not even close to the 9-hour workweek.
Hence that remarkable phenomenon in the history of Modern Industry, that machinery sweeps away every moral and natural restriction on the length of the working-day. Hence, too, the economic paradox, that the most powerful instrument for shortening labour-time, becomes the most unfailing means for placing every moment of the labourer’s time and that of his family, at the disposal of the capitalist for the purpose of expanding the value of his capital. “If,” dreamed Aristotle, the greatest thinker of antiquity, “if every tool, when summoned, or even of its own accord, could do the work that befits it, just as the creations of Daedalus moved of themselves, or the tripods of Hephraestos went of their own accord to their sacred work, if the weavers’ shuttles were to weave of themselves, then there would be no need either of apprentices for the master workers, or of slaves for the lords.” And Antipatros, a Greek poet of the time of Cicero, hailed the invention of the water-wheel for grinding corn, an invention that is the elementary form of all machinery, as the giver of freedom to female slaves, and the bringer back of the golden age. Oh! those heathens! They understood, as the learned Bastiat, and before him the still wiser MacCulloch have discovered, nothing of Political Economy and Christianity. They did not, for example, comprehend that machinery is the surest means of lengthening the working-day.

You’re not supposed to use your legs for walking. That’s wrong.
The Moon was Made in China™.
Checkmate, westoids.
I also just want to say that this game was actually very popular.
And I loved it! I was recently thinking of getting it to work on Linux to play again. It’s a monumental classic.
So then why wouldn’t they admit it?
Do you support the Confederates?
They probably might but people drive their cars with Mexican plates into the US all the time.
Besides capitalism?
Not a book, but as a kid I absolutely loved The Land Before Time.
It’s such a terribly sad and traumatizing movie for a young child.
You can drive it across the border if it has Mexican plates though.
I’ve seen models of cars not sold in the US far from the border with Mexican plates.
China should get out of Asia!
