minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldMlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoAre you not in an overtly capitalist country where people think that if you’re poor, it’s your fault? Because, unfortunately, I am.
minus-squareKusimulkku@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-22 years agoI think it depends. If someone just stays on welfare without seeking jobs or something (by their choice) then I think people will think they’re poor by choice. But I don’t think I’ve met people who thought poor working people were poor by choice.

minus-squareKusimulkku@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoI don’t think I’ve met a single Republican
