A game with "500+ M downloads" on google play, plus like a dozen other platforms it's on.

If 0.001% of among us players became CEO assassins, I don't think we'd have any CEOs left.

This looks like something you'd find in BioShock, or The Outer Worlds maybe.

Yes you have to consider who you're talking to but I think a lot of us are ready to talk about patching the hole.

As a radical leftist I'm certainly not against bailing the boat, I just acknowledge that this is a temporary solution. Like, minimum wage needs to be high enough that people can work a reasonable number of hours, afford rent, and still have time to read Marx.

The minimum wage hike is still important, it's just not the end game. If you're saying you're not interested in patching the hole, that sounds like a problem. If you're saying "this hole won't be patched for a while, but some day we'll get there. In the meantime, bail like hell." then, we are comrades.

Or, when someone says "abolish private property" they're not talking about your toothbrush.

In this context, private property is the stuff you can use to generate capital. Personal property is your toothbrush, your phone, clothes, furniture, bike, car, house etc.

If you own a second house for rental income, that's private property. The house you just live in is personal property.

There's a funny hodgepodge of ideology here... "Guillotine oligarchs" sounds pretty cool, invokes the French Revolution, which was radical left, at the time. But then the unwillingness to abolish private property is either an erroneous conflation of "private" and "personal" or an unwillingness to actually change the system that produces the oligarchs.

It's like bailing out the boat but when someone says "patch the hole" your like "but we need the hole!"

And they're guaranteeing this super affordable public housing all while under a comprehensive trade embargo for 60+ years imposed by the most powerful nation there is, who also happens to be their neighbor.

Never believe that housing "needs" to be expensive, it's 100% a decision made by people who profit from it.

Once again, every accusation is a confession.

There was this study where they asked a theater full of women to rate the attractiveness of men, based on a photo and a profession. Then they changed all the professions (but kept the same photos) and did it again.

The same picture with a higher-paying job was rated significantly higher.

they need to address the real issues that affect all working class people.

But of course this would mean clawing back some concessions from the capitalist class, and they own both parties, so....nope.
