This is weirdly almost a progressive mindset but somehow seems to miss the point and make it about blaming the victim.

    "The problem is that the job doesn't pay enough!"

    "Yes, exactly!"

    "So that lazy POOR should've gotten a better one!"

    "??????????"

    It's amazing how conservatives miss the point so reliably. I imagine it's intentional for Bench Appearo, but many others are probably just genuinely that blinkered in their thinking.

    Seriously, so by Ben's argument, the best thing for poor people to do is either 1. Organize into a labor union to negotiate better wages, or 2. Use violence against the rich as a valid tactic to improve your wages.

    But conservatives HATE those two little tricks...

    Find out what poor-paying job that poor person holds. Now ask yourself, "if everyone with this job were to vacate, how would that affect me?"

    See? See how you can still be selfish but slightly less stupid at the same time?

    Because they grew up during a time when you could do that, and then pulled the ladder up behind them.

    My step dad bought a farm and raced Ford Broncos for fun doing odds jobs out in a farming community. You'd be lucky to have a roof over your head and 3 meals a day doing odd jobs now.

    If only his sister leveraged her massive milkers in some way on OnlyFans, their entire family's wealth would elevate even higher than what the Russians are currently paying him to spread their propaganda. /s
