    Material conditions effect the way people act in relation to society‽

    That can’t be it.

      my first hand experiences of having the wealth divide manifested literally in front my face and being surrounded by it on an almost daily bases while i leverage my visible minority identities like a cloak to shield my relative privilege so that i can invisibly maneuver around the hungry & unhoused mass of people proves that this is true.

      also: the fact that i keep repeating this experience in the most liberal of cities in this country over the decades and that this phenomena was predicted in theory (as well the fact that it was written generations ago, but still completely relevant to today) proves to me that what you’ve shared is undeniably true and it boggles my mind that this is not more commonly known.

      when i see .worlder’s hellbent on repeating history, it’s become difficult not to just give up and lol at leopards-ate-their-face-ees; but if we don’t start helping each out more, trump’s leopards are going to be eating ALL of our faces.
