    The feeling of helplessness, and being unable to do anything about the poverty the capitalists have caused is the most frustrating thing.

    Like look at the comments on any one of the videos of this channel, where somebody drives around impoverished areas of US cities, like this one in philadelphia. So many people are outraged and want to help eliminate systemic poverty, but don’t know how.

      It’s the whole capitalist realism thing. People can see that the system is broken, but they can’t even begin to imagine that it can be changed.
