[–] blight@hexbear.net 69 points 10 months ago

you can tell by the amount of text in the meme that it’s lovingly made by a fellow leftist

you don't really need to call supermarkets bread lines when you have actual bread lines. i've stood in them. they stretched for blocks and it took over an hour to go through it. the food was day old bread and other goods nearing or past their sell-by date

The most radicalizing thing you could do to someone would be to force them to live like they're poor in the US for a few months

If they don't come out a frothing leftist, they're hopeless

[–] underisk@lemmy.ml 63 points 10 months ago (4 children)

so many people think of "poor" as just "unable to afford luxuries" when it's more like "I have a job but dont have the ability to pay bills and eat regularly this month, and this isnt unusual or likely to change"

Also "I can't afford to fix or replace anything and if my car breaks down I'm fucked"

for me it's having a job that used to be considered "middle class" that I work full time and net like -$100 every month even after strict budgeting. Living perpetually on the edge of homelessness despite doing everything I was told to do growing up.

Sounds like any job I can think of, tbh. Teacher, nurse, lawyer, firefighter, middle management.

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 25 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I talked to a guy who was really desperate to define poverty as literally dying of starvation in the street.

Sounds nice.

nooo food banks don't count because it's "charity" not "government mandated" which means it's good not evil!

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 29 points 10 months ago

The government is forcing me to eat food! How dare!

[–] Thordros@hexbear.net 17 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Imagine living in a place where you could stand in a bread line. My food bank requires ID, you need a car to get there, and it's strictly means tested.

That’s so fucked up. We lived in walking distance but still had to carry it all with us if we couldn’t manage a car trip. They didn’t ID or means test though, which I didn’t even know was a possibility. Do they think rich people are gonna show up and take all the stale bread?

[–] anonochronomus@hexbear.net 14 points 10 months ago

oh noes! free food!

So let's say, hypothetically, that you have 20 yards of Linen.

Turkey doesn't appear to mention socialism in their constitution, but interestingly India, Portugal, and Bangladesh all do.

We, the people of India, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a Sovereign Socialist Secular Democratic Republic

open up a path towards a socialist society, with respect for the will of the Portuguese

Further pledging that it shall be a fundamental aim of the State to realise through the democratic process, a socialist society

[–] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 13 points 10 months ago

I wonder if anyone in Portugal has launched a constitutional challenge against right governments based on that. Would love to see the chud-lite party attempt to argue they're building Socialism.

[–] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 13 points 10 months ago

Depending on the translation, so does the constitution of the ROC lol
