it is constantly amazing and terrifying to me the amount of propaganda that is necessary in order to sustain capitalism

I’m not saying this to sound so smart and evolved, I’m absolutely including myself in this. I am constantly in awe of how much I have had to unlearn and how much more I need to unlearn. The first time I saw someone criticizing the nuclear family model, I was completely taken aback, and now I fully recognize the ways in which this social family model perpetuates abuse, poverty, and neglect.

And the capitalist class really has us believing that the products we consume have something to say about our identity. It’s fucking wild.

The United States is a country that believes that the availability of 27 different types of Oreos is somehow an indication of freedom while people starve to death on the streets and die because they can’t afford a medication whose price is artificially inflated.

The idea that someone can earn (and therefore deserves) millions or billions of dollars is absolutely asinine! The myth of the “self-made millionaire” is an outright lie! And yet both are bedrocks of American culture.
