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

@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?
