Sounds like you need to get new friends. We are all dealing with crap, we are all at the bottom of the pile getting the dregs from trickle down economic theory

  > Sounds like you need to get new friends. I don't think I understand—which friends are you suggesting that 1attice get rid of?

    Surround yourself with people that share whatever your culture or sense of being is. You will feel far less alone and down trodden. My home society had shops during my life time that had recruitment signs that said things like "Catholics need not apply" or not long before that signs that said "No dogs, no Irish". But we are just fighting among ourselves for scraps. We are lied to continually and our ire is constantly misdirected. Since Roman times the world has been ruled by oligarchies of one form or another. Those are the people who would never give you or I the time of day. We are nothing but cattle, locked in our homes, mass medicate and marched off to the slaughter fields.

  We're all subject to injustice and can and absolutely find solidarity within that. It's also true that injustice and danger is not evenly distributed, and it's shitty and dismissive to pretend that it is. Far right extremist violence against queer people is absolutely a thing and it has been increasing for several years now, for example. How many of your friends have been killed violently by extremists in the last two years? If it's zero you maybe should just stfu about the injustice we're all subject to, in this context.
