Your quality of life continues to get worse year over year as capitalism consolidates wealth into fewer and fewer hands. As your living standards decrease you choose to focus on fighting battles that won't improve your life but give you superficial feelings of superiority in place of real reform.

Yeah healthcare gets more expensive year over year but at least you can punch down on others so that makes you feel better.


Convinced.
How do I get me some of this real reform?

Never been fooled and I won't get fooled again.


The fact that you are confident you've never been fooled is enough to confirm you've been fooled many times.

You should do some reading on cognitive biases and look to apply them to your thought process. You won't get fooled so frequently if you're on the look out. The mindset that you've never been fooled or can't be fooled guarantees that you get fooled.

Not if you don't play the field and your girl is from your town and you grew up with HER.

You can support union funds, not cross picket lines, not be a right wing reactionary, vote for leftists.

What is wrong with being reactionary?
That is a natural and good survival instinct.

Miner snag on the vote left thing.
I am very anti-government.
As such I have never voted.
Not registered to, unless was done for me in the Navy.

If your a reactionary you're prime to be taken advantage of. If your only guiding principle is based off of your initial gut response you rob yourself of deeper thinking.

Anti-government is pro big business. That's the worst of the two.
