Great, free to starve in a gutter. Such freedom.
I'm always amazed at how people will fight to work like slaves rather than to fight for a home and food. It's properly insane if you ask me.
When people fight against things that destroy jobs, they are fighting to stay slaves.
The state of things is that capitalists stole progress for themselves. Fighting to take it back would be a better fight. Fighting to get food or shelter in exchange for now tech to capitalists would be a better fight. Fighting capitalists would be a better fight. But people fight to keep serving the capitalists, they fight for the status quo in fear that the change will make their miserable life worse. It's not a winning fight.
Spoken like someone who has never struggled to pay rent, never skipped meals because their bank account was empty, and never actually carried a weapon.
You cannot fight for a home and food, at least, not without being an aggressor. Russia is doing this to Ukraine right now (the war is about only one thing really - farmland).
You can build a home and produce food. You do this by cooperating with other people, not fighting them.
