@Strandjunker I fully agree the shame needs to be put on the rich who profit excessively on necessities.

@Strandjunker sounds like a good thought
I would like to copy that on my wall to don't forget the thought but I didn't get the point to do that -

@Strandjunker Shaming the poor is part of the capitalist plan to maintain control. It's no different than putting the pressure of climate activism on the individual; it's all in service to the machine.

@Strandjunker Why don't we just stop shaming the poor for their decisions, because it's none of our business.

Shame the rich for existing, because their existence is shameful.

Oh, I feel the standard characterization of as civilizational cancer, vampire squid and leeches works, and amoral satanic demons works for me

@Strandjunker I think we have to address the root cause of this type of behavior, superiority complex (a mental disorder that is contagious and conditionable), what gave birth to survival of the fittest, a nazi,kkk fascist ideology that was bastardized from Darwin’s theory of evolution.
the false corrupted idea of “survival of the fittest” which applies to animals who don’t have hospitals, supermarkets, schools and housing (which already says the fittest is obviously not needed to sustain an economy and in fact depends on these conditions to thrive), is the reason why we have such a violent and hostile environment from generation to generation, and why our social interaction has become increasingly toxic and petty, trickling from corporate culture as we are witnessing now and have been for decades, into friendships, family and intimate interaction and how we see each other. It doesn’t just stop the moment you leave your office. It’s psychological conditioning and abuse that was present in all fascist regimes.

@Strandjunker Would that not be the fault of government, for not providing the essential thing?

@Strandjunker In Gaza, we no longer choose between the essential and the luxury... rather, we choose between 'the essential for survival'. So do not blame the hand that pays for bread, but rather the eye that smiles as it counts the profits of famine (crisis and exploitation merchants).

@Strandjunker I completely agree with you. Our reality in Gaza is a prime example. Here, we've stopped searching for 'essentials' or 'luxuries'; we're now searching for our dignity amidst the rubble. When people criticize me for buying a chocolate bar for my little brother with my last few shekels, just to see him smile again after the sound of the bombing, the fault lies with those criticizing me, not with me🤍🤍

@Strandjunker How about we stop shaming and polarization altogether?
How about we start acting by supporting the ones who struggle financially and simply stop supporting 'the rich' with questionable behavior?
No shaming required. No polarization as a result.

@Strandjunker How does a poor person shame a sociopath? The rich see the poor as objects. Will rich people shame each other? They don't listen to anyone but their sycophantic followers.
Emotional manipulation will not work. The government must exercise its power to inflict punitive measures, economic or otherwise. Make their immoral acts illegal, and prosecute them. Force is the only real option. Best if it's legitimate.

@Strandjunker A related criticism usually levelled at the poor... I've recently realised that the worst workshy freeloaders in society are the billionaires. Why aren't they accused of not contributing?
