Something occurred to me today.
There's a lot of (valid) criticism of capitalism. But not a lot of advice on how to survive in capitalism, especially lower class survival techniques.
You have to give people the tools to deal with the oppressive systems they live in until alternatives are in place, not just yell at them to delete FB or that credit ratings are evil.
@thindol You mean like frugality?
@Blackknight Stupid questions get low effort answers. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/996510342652968961.html
@thindol I guess I'm just confused by your post.
@Blackknight For a more genuine answer, this means things like education on how to build/repair credit, explicit money donations including housing assistance, health care, and food, online privacy tools like Privacy Badger that help people protect their information from unregulated hoovering by capitalist companies, etc.
Basically, if we all have to live under a system that prioritizes profit over people, then we need to help people live in it while also building an alternative.
