Using the term "feel" is another fake news white washing bullshit.

Poor people are subject to untetnable economic and social condition.

This is not issue of feels, this is issue of the regime subjegating poor people into wage slavery for minimal or no benefit.

It was cute when poor's stayed single mothers and coloureds... But that was not enough and now they are coming after "good" Americans aka whyte cucks but really just everyone who is less than affuent. So fake news got to run these clown stories to spin it up.

Anyway, quit being poor losers, sucks to suck, hit gud.

Honestly, that's shockingly low, depressingly even.

As long as people, of all ages, continue to have any faith in the status quo (or in the possibility that "reforming" or regulating it is all we need), even though it is clear (once you look) that they should have none, they will not revolt, or even support a revolt, against it.

I hate to think how much worse things are going to have to get before enough people realise the system was never there to serve them, even if it makes them feel it does sometimes (because they're a man and/or white and/or abled and/or cis and/or hetero and so on...).

They don't. I speak from experience. Shits rigged that way.

I came from a dirt poor family and did really well for myself eventually. It was only because I got extremely lucky. All of the people who outperformed me in high school are dead, in jail, or doing backbreaking labor for less than half of what I'm making.

Not surprised. The dream is dead. Late-stage capitalism is a nightmare for around half of society and the bottom is gonna keep getting lower.

Only 25%? I guess the UK must have better support for disadvantaged families than we do in the USA.

I'm guessing American? I mean sure, there's some "support", as in basically only from charities, aka government is a far-right shit show no matter the party, but shits still fucked over here too bud.

Well in the USA history and statistics probably back up that feeling.
