Reply to comment by Concrete_Cancer in [image] Be kind by _Cautious_Memory

I grew up poor and have been surrounded by ordinary working class people who struggle financially as a kid/teenager. I now work in a career where everyone I met so far have been financially well off their entire lives (middle to high class). Comparing them, I disagree

It says a lot about the condition of modern civilized life when someone says “rich people have it worse than homeless people” and it’s not taken as obvious sarcasm.

Abolish capitalism.

It was pretty obviously sarcasm. It just wasn’t funny or helpful.

I do agree abolish capitalism! But you aren’t being downvoted because people thought you were being sincere…

Some of the comments here suggest otherwise—not that I care. It’s an empirical matter that isn’t at all worth settling. I’m not posting to entertain or help anyone or provide public service announcements or constructive criticism. I’m just venting and reminding myself that, no, not all of our struggles are equal; and if we want to promote kindness, then we should abolish the system that encourages, feeds, and breeds on its opposite.
