minus-squareDagwood222@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up5·2 months agoYou’re confusing “Poverty” and “Inequality.” The situation you’re upset about is “inequality.” The 99.9% getting screwed by a system that denies them the fruits of their labors. You are forced to use a 'strawman" argument because you know I’m right, and lack the sense to just admit it. And using an emoji always shows how carefully you’ve considered the other person’s opinion.
