    We’re being robbed blind every single day and most people either don’t even know, or don’t care.

    This time the wealth is expressed in numbers, but if you look at it in time it becomes that much more obscene;

    DECADES of your life stolen that you have to slave for someone who already owns multiple hundreds to thousands of your net worth. DECADES that you could’ve spent with your family, friends and loved ones, building your own life up instead of that of the undeserving.

    YEARS and MONTHS of suffering, starving, trying to keep your head above water just to do it all over the very next day, while these fuckers make the equivalent of a million of us every few minutes by doing ABSOLUTELY FUCK SHIT ALL except exist and “own” us.

    They need to be killed, and soon, because we only have a few decades left. We can either spend them slaving away further until there is nothing left or we can somehow rise up and gain at least a little bit of what was lost back. But we’re all cowards and well conditioned to just sit back and accept this. I myself am not a hair better in this regard than anyone else.
