What you call beating around the bush was what most people know to be making an analogy. Analogies help express complex ideas in ways that are more readily understandable.

I have heard that all before, it happens over and over again throughout history. It's called agitation. It never ends well. You have been shielded from how life really works by being born to rich parents. This is one of the struggles that rich people deal with that I mentioned before.

You have no clue how hard you have to work in life. You expected to be able to go to work, watch Netflix all day, and be able to afford everything you want. Since that didn't work out, you latched on to the first explanation that came along for why it's "the system's" fault and not yours. You have been duped by failures who turned their own failures around by selling lies to people like you into buying their unsupported world views. They profit greatly from their capitalistic ventures, all while lying about how it's a terrible system. It's like any other get rich quick scheme out there. The only ones who get rich are the ones selling the scheme.

The longer you deny reality, the harder it will be for you to actually do something with your life. I suggest you put all this foolishness away and start setting some goals to work towards.

no u havent which is why u think the terms are ridiculous.

nothing wrong with agitation when theres injustice. whats ur solution to it?

maybe lay off the analogies because yours are ridiculous and sound like BS. doesnt help ur case.

havent been shielded. ive worked paper routes in my youth and :censored2:ty jobs as a teen too.. my parents only became rich due to a broken housing market. its entrenched wealth: mobility is going out the window because property prices are so high. how long does it take to pay off a 1,000,000 house if ur a UPS driver? thats what they go for in vancouver and toronto. or the fact that student debt is $30,000 which many probably wont pay off until their 30s. its obvious what they built, a system of debt servitude. you talk about individualism, our biggest failure as individuals is not rising up, thinking we could just "work hard" and everything would work out. alot of ppl work hard and arent paid very much for it. some work hard earn the median income, and still wonder how housing is so unaffordable. in the past something like 20% of ppl's incomes was allowed to go to mortgages, but they got rid of those rules. and im not even talking about top down capitalist injustice on the job. when i worked on the railway, it was pretty clear the capitalists wrote the regulations because all the workers thought it was bs.

i dont see whats hypocritical at all but i know conservatives get caught up on that. their message is within a capitalist system so they have to compromise.

you have these ideas and you dont even do anything about it besides maybe vote because you couldnt keep your pants on and u subscribe to bizzare theories of "competence". at least i get to donate alot. good chance ur running around with ur head cut off.

You clearly don't understand the point of that book. SMH. You are buying into a worker's paradise fantasy.

Working harder can help improve your lot, but you can also work smarter, invest smarter. You're gambling your money on the hopes that your revolution will be successful. Even if you win that gamble, you'll still lose.

You despise things that are right, but I believe you do want to make things better. You are barking up the wrong tree, in a forest of make believe. I hope you find your way out of the woods one day.

gee i wonder what george orwell, a socialist, is talking about here LOL



"
"Now, comrades, what is the nature of this life of ours? Let us face it: our lives are miserable, laborious, and short. We are born, we are given just so much food as will keep the breath in our bodies, and those of us who are capable of it are forced to work to the last atom of our strength; and the very instant that our usefulness has come to an end we are slaughtered with hideous cruelty. No animal in England knows the meaning of happiness or leisure after he is a year old. No animal in England is free. The life of an animal is misery and slavery: that is the plain truth.


"But is this simply part of the order of nature? Is it because this land of ours is so poor that it cannot afford a decent life to those who dwell upon it? No, comrades, a thousand times no! The soil of England is fertile, its climate is good, it is capable of affording food in abundance to an enormously greater number of animals than now inhabit it. This single farm of ours would support a dozen horses, twenty cows, hundreds of sheep--and all of them living in a comfort and a dignity that are now almost beyond our imagining. Why then do we continue in this miserable condition? Because nearly the whole of the produce of our labour is stolen from us by human beings. There, comrades, is the answer to all our problems. It is summed up in a single word--Man. Man is the only real enemy we have. Remove Man from the scene, and the root cause of hunger and overwork is abolished for ever.


"Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals. He sets them to work, he gives back to them the bare minimum that will prevent them from starving, and the rest he keeps for himself. Our labour tills the soil, our dung fertilises it, and yet there is not one of us that owns more than his bare skin. You cows that I see before me, how many thousands of gallons of milk have you given during this last year? And what has happened to that milk which should have been breeding up sturdy calves? Every drop of it has gone down the throats of our enemies. And you hens, how many eggs have you laid in this last year, and how many of those eggs ever hatched into chickens? The rest have all gone to market to bring in money for Jones and his men. And you, Clover, where are those four foals you bore, who should have been the support and pleasure of your old age? Each was sold at a year old--you will never see one of them again. In return for your four confinements and all your labour in the fields, what have you ever had except your bare rations and a stall?

i dont gamble my money. thats what htey do on wall st. its called giving back to society, doing your part and letting go of the outcome. see ur outcome focused bc youve been brainwashed, always wondering what you can hope to accomplish and its turned you into a cynic which means you fail by default.

take it easy there with ur trees marilyn manson

You think animal farm is an argument for communism. The education system failed you.
