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.

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.

Be kind to rich people especially—they have so much responsibility and such great struggles the likes of which most of us wouldn’t wish on our worst enemies! Homeless people and ordinary working class people are living like fat cats by comparison

Capitalism is the problem—as long as capital controls government (DNC and GOP), they’ll continue telling you that it’s your responsibility as a consumer or voter or whatever to prevent the climate crisis: drive less, recycle, don’t shower, eat impossible burgers, be green, don’t use plastic straws, etc. These aren’t real solutions; they leave the system intact, they preserve our dependency on fossil fuel, and hence, they preserve the power of the industries that are causing this catastrophe in the first place. These solutions are politically conservative. [That is why liberals are just conservatives: they’re both committed to capital.] There’s no solution to this problem without confronting capital. This is an international class struggle; we literally have nothing to lose and our one and only planet to gain.

Voting doesn’t seem to be working very well.
