Very real, those in power prefer to give opportunity to those who hold similar values to them. In the west this means being a selfish racist piece of shit.

Being good at anything is completely unrelated to being a good person. If every person in the world was brilliant but a selfish piece of shit, we'd go extinct.

Take pride in your abilities, and be kind to yourself. You have value outside of your ability to generate revenue for shareholders. Compassion, Empathy, and emotional intelligence are separate skills you've invested time into that those people clearly haven't.

Also nurture yourself! I cannot overstate how helpful it is to be kind to yourself when trying to learn something new. The only way to get good at something is to first be bad at it.

Isn't it like, the entire job of politicians to convince people to vote for them?

Do you really think that the intersection of 40s racism and FDR ideals (for white people) is a complete coincidence? That there was absolutely nothing else happening at that time related to the US being able to sustain higher living standards for the working class?

You clearly are not educated enough on this topic to have an in-depth conversation. That's not an attack on your character, but you really should consider learning more.

And before you say I haven't provided solutions, real solutions & real change require theory and practice. It's not easy and you will have a gut reaction to reject it because you are kept comfortable by the spoils of imperialism. This is why most people choose to not waste their time engaging with you and instead post memes. I have spent 30 minutes of my real life typing out a message that will likely not convince you of anything given what I've seen of your other responses.

If you actually want to fight for a better future then I'd be happy to provide you resources to learn more.
