It’s insane to me that people aren’t openly rebelling about the reallocation of wages to owners’ bank accounts.

I think it was learning about the automation -> destitution of workers, as in the Luddite example, that lifted me out of middle school Ron Paul libertarianism…

A few years back people were whining about the student protests in Quebec regarding tuition hikes.

My brother in christ, you do realise that’s exactly why they have the lowest tuition in Canada, right?

My grandmother pulled that shit with me and I lost it. This is a woman who worked for 20 years, and retired early with a $6000/month state pension for teaching grammar in a community college.

She said “it’s not a big deal, ours is way higher and it needs to be because who’s gonna pay for it!”.
