the system loves cruelty
criminalizing poverty and brutalizing criminals is what spins the wheels of capitalism

No, no, no; if you work really hard and really apply yourself, you too can become a titan of industry and make your billions of dollars. If you aren't at least a millionaire, it's because you are just too dumb and lazy to succeed. Go back to school, work longer hours, read more books, get better ideas. In the meantime, I'm hungry, flip my burger faster, and what do you mean you want more than $7.25/hour, it's not like this is a real job.

Fun Fact:
That happened in Vietnam too. And Libya. And Venezuela... And the Spanish Republic... And
true, at least she wouldn't be in jail for the crime of not being able to work with 93
True. Go move then. Or any other non capitalist country.
No? Maybe those are worse than capitalism and we should try to fix it instead of calling everyone terrorists? Ok then.
nah, corporations are literally evil, as in no morals evil
Fire is also no morals evil. Corporations are tools. Dangerous but powerful tools. You use them poorly and you end up with corporations murdering union leaders and poisoning communities. You don't use them at all and you end up with breadlines and authoritarianism.
Why is it assumed that the owner can afford to have her live rent free?
What is the point of the private property system?
neoliberalism and late stage capitalism in its essence
