Same goes with crime and incarceration
It's a truly abhorrent system
Capitalism says productivity is the most important metric in determining value
That you must โearnโ everything, even food, housing and healthcare.
How do you earn it? By working until you die.
It teaches people to see children, the elderly & disabled as expendable.
It enriches the wealthy only
'Three-quarters of people support a wealth tax โ yet none of the establishment parties will touch it. So parts of the media close ranks when the vast wealth of their owners and the policies of their friends in Westminster come under threat.'

I have a purity test: Do you believe in universal human rights?
If you do, we can talk, we can figure shit out, if you're a politician then maybe I'll vote for you.
If you don't? We're done. & I'm sure as shit not gonna vote for you & don't gaf what you think.
Human rights aren't negotiable.
