Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

@Strandjunker

my reply isn't the best

but in real life I remind people that surviving isn't living

[trixiemaina@mstdn.social]

@Strandjunker exactly..flip the shame where it belongs

[audiodude@sfba.social]

@rapsneezy2 @Strandjunker@mstdn.social Surviving might not be living in the sense of "living up to full human potential". But 99% of life on this planet is just surviving. Humans are priveleged and cursed to have a "thinking" brain.

@Strandjunker Your rich when you have everything you need and poor when you don`t have everything you want

@Strandjunker Take control of as much vital root infrastructure as possible, so the abusers can no longer abuse.

@Strandjunker Joy is, in fact, essential to human life. Those with no joy do not stick around for long.

@Strandjunker
Agreed, Andrea.

@Strandjunker Didnt you know? Your life is supposed to suck if you’re poor.

[luna@mastodon.world]

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

@Strandjunker

Or freaking renting towns for weddings. Gods, the list goes on and on.

[rodriguezbarricado@mastodon.social]

@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.

[spara@mastodon.social]

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

[wtrabex@mastodon.social]

@Strandjunker

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

@Strandjunker

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 how about we start shaming the government for being completely usess every time

[unspeaker@mastodon.social]

@Strandjunker won't work. shame is a poor people emotion

[jeffreydbrown@mastodon.social]

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