@QasimRashid Well no. There’s no escaping poverty. Having these items is basically a necessity for living in this current reality of society and civilisation.
This idea that people can “pull themselves out of poverty” is utter & pure fantasy. As realistic as everyone biding time till they get that $400 million lottery jackpot.
Horatio Alger can go fuck himself. :)
@TransitBiker @QasimRashid literally the entire history of capitalism is people being lifted out of extreme poverty, but please, go on…
