White suburbanites: WhY dOn'T tHeM pOoRs JuSt PuLl ThEsSeLvEs Up By ThE bOoTsTrApS?

@tofugolem
That won't stop the growing of potatoes. You can do that atop the ground.

@ClaraListensprechen4
There would be no need for workarounds if people weren't deliberately making rules to make things harder for poor people.

You are arguing in favor of systemic oppression.

@tofugolem
That would be missing the point, actually. Anger solves no problems. Solutions to problems solve problems. Hotheads be damned. Hotheads like Ikngrr, for example who sees dudes everywhere it looks, and then projects his ignorance in accusations against others.

@ClaraListensprechen4 @tofugolem okay, not wanting to escalate here, but it seems to me that you haven't realized you haven't provided a solution at all.
Yet you are arguing as if you have clearly done so.
Apart from the arguments the others have already provided, of course.

Their solution is to just get angry, and you're calling THAT a solution.

@ClaraListensprechen4 @aintasenatorson
You: How DARE those uppity people have a problem with systemic oppression! I'm so superior because I'm not being oppressed! See how superior I am?
