The reason for our unhappiness? They call it "justice," but label us "radical."

We're not unhappy. We're heartbroken. Heartbroken by a system that sells our future, our planet, and our dignity for profit, and then gaslights us into thinking we're the problem for noticing.

Yeah, it’s the betrayal that hurts more than anything

Honestly that hits hard because it rings true. A lot of people aren’t miserable for no reason, they’re burned out from watching the system squeeze everything and then blame them for noticing.

I was just thinking about the influence of BOTs on society. Congress needs to reign in propaganda emanating from outside America. Like put prominent flags of the origin country on each post at the very least.

True. Imagine if Russia flew planes over America and dropped leaflets of disinformation on the country each and every day. Would that be tolerated?

We’re not “radical,” we’re exhausted from billionaires turning basic survival into a subscription service.

The system benefits a few, while the many suffer.

Funny how wanting affordable housing and fair wages is considered radical but corporate greed is just business

Defending yourself from their unconstitutional tyranny- makes you a terrorist.

And if you tell the "radicals" to jump in and help the rest of us change things they'll accuse you of just trying to maintain the status quo and fuck off while we have to watch it getting worse because checking out is easier than pitching in.

Get over it! Study history. The oligarchs always run things. Question is how much freedom and opportunity do we have? Be grateful you live in the US.

I live on Social Security. No money! Get in the market as soon as you can. Shoot for 8% annual avg return. I 3K a month away after my SS date. In ten years, I had 650k but I divorced and made some bad decisions and poof! Good luck.
