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.

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.

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.
