Fucking made my month. I can die happy.
I’m not going to self crit over not remembering every part of a passage verbatim. The exact details of American living standards aren’t what’s important, anyway (which is why I’m not getting into the lack of comparison points; for instance, what percentage of black Americans own a car/drive to work?).
My criticism is that if you’re poor relative to the people around you, that’s far more of a factor in your radicalization potential than how much you have relative to people you hardly think about. Especially as the American version of poor still involves serious issues like housing instability, hunger, significant barriers to healthcare, etc.
I’m not engaging with you further until you at least edit your objectively wrong assessment about refrigerators and TVs in the book.
“I refuse to engage with the substance of what you’re saying until you edit a comment, no I don’t care that you already acknowledged you did not remember the whole quote verbatim”
Debate pervert shit. You want to talk about self crit, start there.
