Every time I read a complaint about having to do the dishes or working a dumb job, I like to imagine the complainer making their case to the kids who work 16 hour days to make their clothes.

    Unfortunately we all live on the same planet being turned into a hellhole by capitalists, some just have more corpse piles to deal with than others

      I’d strongly recommend reading about the world. For vast swathes of humanity, it’s better than ever before. An easy quick one is Hans Rosling’s Factfulness.

      I get that for some of us, our parents had cheaper houses, but holy God, more people are moving out of poverty and living better lives than ever before.

        The wealth disparity between the capitalist class and the working class in America now is worse than it was in France during French revolution.

        The only reason “more people are moving out of poverty” is because we literally have more humans now.

        You would totally be telling the French to shut up during the French revolution, because literally slavery exists somewhere else.

          Do you honestly think your life would be better if you traded your birth nowadays and were instead born in France in the mid 1700s?
