I find it interesting that even the working class sometimes consider themselves “capitalists.” We have been so indoctrinated that even when we’re exploited we side with those exploiting us.

Given Trump’s recent actions as the new POTUS we have every right to complain. However, it is our critical attitude and critical thinking faculties that can impulse us into action to preserve our human rights. We must never lose said faculties even if others consider it “complaining.”
