I've also stated in numerous ways that I'm not a fan of rich greedy assholes, but you can't put all the blame on them when far far too many regular people create their own problems and then pat each other on the backs and pretend they don't play their own part in the circle.

I know addiction is complicated, but that's what more people need to realize, is that they do in fact have an addiction, and they need to educate themselves about it. There's tons of people around reddit all day long that will acknowledge drug addicts, but they're in denial that they're consumer addicts, whether goods, services, and/or shitty food.

We don't do anyone any good by saying "don't worry, it's not your fault, you should be able to do whatever you want to do. It's the rich people's fault for making us this way". It's just laying down and allowing people to be the victim. If people want to fight back against the rich, they do have some power in doing that. Everyone is not a sweet innocent victim. They have the ability to push back.

Everyone wants to sell you something. The shiny advertisements, the cheap products etc. More people need to start taking the stance of being highly skeptical and saying "fuck you, I'm not giving you a nickel". Get mad about it, fight back, don't lay down and allow yourself to be taken advantage of and then circlejerk with eachother that you're all sweet and innocent and can't do anything about it. That weakness is exactly what the rich prey upon.
