True, but having the moral high ground doesn’t pay the rent, so without either outside help or organized rebelion all it will do is hurt the little guy.
As it stand now they effectively won, we waited too long, not saying it can’t change but individual action is not enough
What do you think I’m advocating for here? Demanding your rightfull place as a worker is rebellion.
Sure, one dignified chump quitting will be laughed at; but one thousand? ten thousand? will make them sweat.
But 1000, 10,000 aren’t doing that. This is just one person reacting to their boss and quitting on the spot. You have to organize and plan this shit out. General Strikes don’t just magically “happen” when enough people are pissed off, those pissed off people have to actually coordinate with each other.
Homelessness is manufactured, its part of that coercion I talked about, so… yes.
Theres plenty of employed people who are homeless (quick google search shows that in the US about 50% of people living in shelters and 40% living on the streets are employed). Employment does not guarantee shelter, as we’ve been told, so clearly playing by their rules isnt working for us. Why do we keep playing a game that is rigged against us and supported by lies is beyond me.
Obviously all this should be accompained with solidarity/mutual aid and real societies and not the individualist bullshit they try so hard to convince us is society. Governments and corporations wont help us but theres no reason we cant help each other if we wanted to.
The system is designed to force you into debt and coerce you into work and it wont ever change if we keep playing by their rules.

Hard to organize shit when people is arguing against spreading the idea of doing so.
