the working class should have better living conditions, especially in modern times where worker productivity is multiple times higher than post-WW2 technology allowed even after accounting for the higher tech level required for modern society

why not simply lower your living conditions?

Ironic how the one arguing in bad faith is the one complaining about it.

I mean, there's room to talk about addressing systemic change and immediate quality-of-life suggestions in mutual exclusion, right? It's not like taking steps to improve your life now is capitulation, and as I said having roommates was a step up in living conditions and made me better prepared mentally and financially to exist. I don't see the irony at all -- apologies if I'm misunderstanding -- but we have to accept some nuance here.
