      Because the US is one of the best examples of your desire to see the children of poor and unemployed people starve?

      “G-g-g-get a grip, I don’t like my shitty views being challenged and I can’t actually defend them”

      Mate if you’re going to post dumb shit you probably should have a better response than that.

      I’m assuming you’re not actually very dedicated to the idea of starving children, that’s just something you’ve heard and parroted because your own economic status is precarious

          You’re poor because you’re one or two crippling events away from poverty, you’re dumb because you’re choosing to be.

          I’ve been to the US and the level of poverty is horrific. Meanwhile China has lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty.

          The idea of “brainwashing” came from returned American POWs who learned that they were getting a shitty deal from American capitalists who profiteered while the soldiers were firebombing Asia, so no, I don’t think you’re brainwashed. I think you’re a classic middle-class westerner attacking the poor because you see yourself as part of the actual wealthy class even if you’re not. You might have to examine why you’re not on $7 an hour, or if you were born unlucky, $2 a day.

          Finally we see the true LIB emerge - eugenicist takes on how poor people shouldn’t have children, and then how their children (who didn’t actually consent to be born) should be punished for that
