Privilege. Especially white privilege. It's easier to be happy when you're benefiting from the invisible suffering of others.

Trump is Uncle Sam. Y'all gotta stop with the homophobic conspiracies. Liberal version of qanon.

This is pseudo-science. There's nothing in the "nature" of ponzi schemes that makes them "short-lived", because these terms are subjective and unscientific. Many ponzi schemes have lasted for much longer than the original. See also global capitalism.

Japan is historically an extremely racist empire. That contributes to anti-immigration.

Not everything has to be a ponzi scheme where line go up.

Yeah sure my personal cup of coffee is not a ponzi scheme AFAIK.

But global capitalism? Definitely a ponzi scheme 100%. Literally destroying the planet to prop it up.

There is no "middle class". There's labor and capital. You're either serving or getting served. I know very well where I'm at. :/

Duckduckgo "myth middle class" and take your poison of choice.

Solid racism. Even if your correlation is "accurate" (according to imperial definitions/measurements of "education"), that's not causation.

People also tend to have more kids when the life expectancy of their kids if very low. Colonized people have low life expectancy because their labor and resources are exploited by the privileged.

You can tell capitalism is super efficient and sustainable by how it totally collapses without fresh babies to sacrifice.
