What he said is _most definitely true_: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2prHCbrVUw



"a bad thing happens somewhere in the world therefore you shouldn't complain"


Precisely. It's called being an entitled brat.


It's insane to consider people suffering from malnutrition, lack of education, food scarcity, lack of access to healthcare as "entitled brats". I just don't even understand how one comes to that conclusion.


you know all this shit is connected right? the rich in America exploit labor to accumulate profit -> funnel that shit into investments to passively increase their income -> investment firms squeeze their controlled companies to generate more profit to increase shareholder value -> companies outsource labor to the 3rd world to reduce costs and give savings to shareholders -> those foreign businesses exploit their workers to a greater degree because there is less/none regulation -> people in other countries get paid $1 a day

Fighting corporate greed in the US is in effect fighting for the rights of laborers internationally that are negatively affected by American business interests. No one who fights for this kind of change does so for selfish reasons, it's for all of us.


It is tough to directly compare instances of despair, and not particularly useful.
