Sorry if this isn't the right place. But the comments here spurred this train of thought.

It seems everyone agrees that the ultra wealthy are the real problem. Yet there is always consistent divisive arguments about which group of people that the wealthy should be oppressing 'more'.

Men and women of every race are being brutalized by a system that doesn't give two shits about us. This system is governed by people who are incapable of empathy.

Studies and articles are released constantly detailing the destruction of our society/civilisation and instead of humans banding against the monsters that control the wealth (and, by extension, the world), yet we argue amongst ourselves.

We are being systematically turned on each other so that the 1% can become the .1%. Until the 99% can actually co-operate against the system, we are doomed to repeat this God forsaken cycle.

Frankly I agree. I did what would be considered quite well in my career. That does not mean however I was treated well at all. I am not talking about money, I am talking about being valued, considered, respected, and treated well on a human level. And I worked for a company that would make those good company lists too.

I've got news for this article: Having a steady job doesn't make you a breadwinner

[–] tintory@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Neat, the article and the study even talks about it

The study calls for a reevaluation of the breadwinner ideology, highlighting the need to understand and support American men’s diverse and often precarious employment experiences.

Hell, the article's conclusion is about economic instability being a bad thing? >

I was just looking for why this was framed as just pertaining to men rather than men and women. I would like to see a follow up which includes women as well to have some kind of basis on more reasonable expectations for the present and what to demand from our economic systems in the future.
