We’re told to accept being poorer

200,000 dead from austerity - the transfer of wealth from poor to rich as assets increase in value

300,000 and counting from the virus we have to live with now. Corruption, venality and incompetence aided by abstention of opposition.

How, then, do we accept children with no food, adults starving in the streets? Why should we?

We should be chasing our tormentors with nooses instead of sitting on our hands.

We’re asked to forgive. I know the privately educated fools have no understanding of the rest of us or how we survive.

There will be a reckoning and I hope we can find it in our hearts not to pay back in the same coin.

But we’re dying every day while they sing hymns to their capitalist god.

It’s a bitter harvest.

Last night I was travelling in dreams.

Everywhere I went there was enough of everything you need and you could go anywhere you wanted. People were happy. I was happy.

Then I woke back to this stupid hell and it broke my heart.

@francis short answer, we should not accept/normalise any of this
