See? We've literally been conditioned to the point that the idea of addressing inequity makes some of us blow a microchip, and then come the incoherent, non-relevant buzz terms they couldn't define with access to a library and a gun to their heads.

Company Stores!

Marxist Leninist commie pinko socialism!

Picking winners and losers!

Venezuela!

And to be clear, I'm not trying to further divide, I still want these poor, deluded bastards to get a UBI. That's whats so sad, they've been conditioned to want others to suffer to feel more successful by comparison. Jesus Christ horses, fucking drink! You'll feel better!
