Fat, stupid, racist, incestous yet religious morons.
@Graylight I’m unconcerned. If I turn my mobile phone off you all cease to exist. You aren’t real people, it doesn’t matter what is said here.

@TheLustyLord Nope, you are a pre-teen troll. If that's your character, that's how you'll be treated.

The compensation ratio between executives (CEO) and workers. It was 58 to 1 in 1989, and in 2021 it's 399 to 1. Since 2021 it has only gotten worse. Historically, I try not to pander to class envy, but after reading about the bloated compensation some C-levels receive even if the corp is dying on the vine, hard not to get pissed off. I read about a CEO making $43M last year, and that same corp dropped their employee purchase program, so some poor employee or retiree can't even get a discount on their own product.
@sree251 Socialism would mean more freedom. Right now, so much freedom is gatekept behind wealth. This is why Socialists believe that we need Democracy of both the government and the workplace. We spend so much of our lives working jobs where we don't have a say in how things are done. We have legal freedoms, but we don't really have freedom in practice if we don't have the time or money to live how we want, plus we're spending eight hours a day taking orders from unaccountable people.

America is a capitalist democracy. It allows Americans to be homeless while others have hundreds of billions of dollars. This is the kind of society we live in. China is a socialist state, doesn't allow this kind of injustice,
That's so disingenuous as to be trolling.

Those aren't the only two alternatives; there are MANY choices in between. Many folks have proposed reversing Trump's tax cuts for the rich. Our capital gains tax rate doesn't need to be so low. Some folks have even proposed taxes on wealth above a few $billion. After all, if you've got $ billions in property, you get much more benefit from the society that protects that property.

Our best economy of the last 50 years was during Clinton, and he began with a tax increase. You, @sree251, have got to stop believing those pernicious supply side lies. Your tax cuts have never increased revenue; all they do is benefit the very wealthy who don't need the benefit.

Department of Human Services taking children and trafficking them to pedophiles. And the FBI not doing their job and helping track down missing children cases like they should have been doing all these years.

It's a systemic injustice that the Bible can't be taught in school instead of science

@deadgerbil no, it’s not. Science is a discipline. It is an academic pursuit where, in things from biology and chemistry to life cycles and physics.

The Bible teaches religion. That’s theology. Therefore, it belongs either in a theology class or at home where religion lives.

@Graylight it's not religion but a relationship with the sole creator of the universe, which people try to understand through science but are often lied to by the NASA and the Illuminati

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout The bank does not rob you. The Government can freeze your account with no explanation. It's a form of sanction.

@sree251 theft is theft
The biggest ones are part of classism.

This comic sums up systemic classism in a short and pretty simple way.
