It’s actually worse. Why are we focusing on caste, which is very isolated, when class divide and class discrimination is a much worse problem. Probably because the upper class who would be adversely affected by any efforts to fix it are the ones in control of driving the agenda. We’re too focused on idealistic feel good politics and not focused enough issues that are affecting most of the nation
- mkoubaa 3y agoAre you seriously alleging that class discrimination is a problem that society is ignoring? Did the 20th century simply not happen?
- uptownfunk 3y agoBasically. Even if they aren’t ignoring it, they aren’t addressing it effectively. Look at rich men north of Richmond. Hard to afford much of anything these days. But oh wait, that’s not the problem, the real problem is some obscure ancient practice from india coming to USA affecting highly privileged and overpaid tech workers.
- wwtrv 3y agoSo are you advocating banning people from having too many friends? Owning summer houses? I'm just trying to understood how do you think that could work (besides from abolishing capitalism). This is only partially sarcasm, I do certainly thing that growing inequality is one of the biggest issues today.
