    No, the reason absolutely does matter. If we were all suffering because of a global drought, that would be entirely different than all of us starving and going homeless at the peak of human production.

      Sure, but the reason is always the same. It’s rich people taking everything. There’s way more than enough food and water for everyone, and that’ll be true for a very long time.

        If the reason was always the same, I would be in agreement. The reasons matter.

          The reason matters in that it affects how we solve the problems, but in terms of how fascism gets it’s foot in… it doesn’t really.
