And why does monetary debasement happen? you use it like it’s just something some evil person did to harm you. when in reality it’s a necessity to counteract wealth hoarding.

Ah, another rich, privileged asshole. Inflation hits poor people the hardest, they have nothing to invest, they have no surplus money to absorb increased cost, they have no bargaining power with their employer.

they have no bargaining power with their employer.

now that is entirely your fault for not being part of a union, the magic thing that actually got the working man everything he has, literally. and no, inflation hits the wealthy the hardest because they have more actual savings, it affects you heavily because you are a good little drone and drank the liberal coolaid.

what is the alternative in a world where people can amass money without anything reducing the real value of said wealth? Entire cities owned by one person?

Of course a privileged asshole blames the victims. Just stop being poor!

I'm unionized, why aren't you? it doesn't make me privileged to not drink libertarian coolaid.

[–] SwingingKoala@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Ah yes, in your fantasy unions exist everywhere. You obviously don't know reality because you're fucking privileged.

[–] orrk@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

no one's stopping you, you think that unions just appeared out of nowhere like some natural resource?

[–] SwingingKoala@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Like I said, victim blaming. Fuck you.

not really, but honestly, most Americans were completely implicit in killing off the unions, you are a victim of your own doing, but hey, if I'm rich just because I work as a cashier at a store that has a union, then you need to really reevaluate your standards.

PS: there is a reason the rich pay millions to pump out propaganda about "muh evil inflation", because unlike you, they do have class consciousness, ironically
