    Money isn’t real. The government isn’t real. Those two things are made real by belief. Everyone made a choice to believe in those two things.

    If you spent the 80s working for communist orgs then you’re not guilty, but everyone else who did nothing during Reagan and Thatcher deserves the hate.

      I lived in a socialist state (GDR) as a small child (and my parents all their lifes until the state disolved). The government destroyed nature just as much, if not more.

      We may have made that choice, but there are some pretty sure consequences if you don’t go along at least a teeny bit.
