      Really, the “yet you participate” argument? We live in a capitalist world, fuck am I supposed to do, let my kids live in the streets?

        What everyone did before you sacrifice to make the world a better place for kids. Instead of fuck you got mine? Thoughts and prayers.

          We reuse the right’s arguments amongst ourselves, now? What “fuck you I got mine” am I doing, and how do I “sacrifice” the very system we’re stuck in?

            You need to practice reading comprehension. I’ll put this as simple as I can for you. “I’m making fun of republicans for saying those phrases.”

      Capitalism doesn’t mean being an asshole. One can be a capitalist and also a decent human being. It’s an economic system not a moral one. Using it as an excuse for being a vile human being is just an easy out.
