you don't really need to call supermarkets bread lines when you have actual bread lines. i've stood in them. they stretched for blocks and it took over an hour to go through it. the food was day old bread and other goods nearing or past their sell-by date
The most radicalizing thing you could do to someone would be to force them to live like they're poor in the US for a few months
If they don't come out a frothing leftist, they're hopeless
so many people think of "poor" as just "unable to afford luxuries" when it's more like "I have a job but dont have the ability to pay bills and eat regularly this month, and this isnt unusual or likely to change"
Also "I can't afford to fix or replace anything and if my car breaks down I'm fucked"
slowly getting more and more behind on your mortgage payments of your tiny 2 bedroom house in a rural area until you are forced to sell because rates were hiked and wages stagnated
