    I dunno, you’re not in a diamond mine, or locked up in a basement being sold for sex… and you can afford a phone

    … so I’d say, relative to the many possible hells that exist on earth, a capitalist hell is pretty nice.

      All those other things happen in capitalist hell. It’s incredibly selfish to think everything is fine if only you are fine.

        That’s true. Good thing I don’t think that. Good thing I never said anything like that. I wouldn’t want anyone to hear what they wanted to hear, twist the original intent, and then send a retort designed to make me look like some kind of selfish person in order to make themselves feel superior.

        Here, I’ll use your tactic: It’s incredibly hypocritical to suggest that you are living in hell because other people suffer, while you enjoy the comforts of a capitalist world. You are not living that hell. You are just viewing other people’s suffering, with popcorn, and offering up your thoughts and prayers.
