“Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you.”

    Must be exhausting thinking every system you don’t directly control is out to exploit, harm, and kill you.

      every system you don’t directly control

      I don’t have to directly control it. I just need it to not instantly shoot my dog.

        The NYPD has shot my dog like 6 times already this year.

        Good thing my dog is a hellhound.

            Calling out victims for being victims just keeps them as victims so I don’t know what you’re bitching about. This was their desired outcome. I have zero patience for people like them and even less for people who defend them. Fuck off.

              Original comment:

              “Going to be crazy when the NYPD bomb Jesus’s house and kill his family in a SWAT raid.”

              You insisting on that joke is someone making themselves the victim of something is fucking stupid. You. Stupid. Piece. Of. Shit.

      This is the type of motherfucker which will at the same time say this and “well, what do you expect, life is just that way” when someone points out the way a system exploits, harms, or kills anyone.

      It’s actually pretty easy to understand Class Dynamics and how they shape society, Materialism makes understanding a turbulent world much easier.
