      Or more specifically, we are ashamed when we can’t afford things we need. We are saturated by right-wing propaganda that says if you don’t succeed, it’s your fault. So, like abuse victims, we internalize the shame of what is done to us.

      It’s a message tailored so we don’t question the rich, and as an added benefit to them, trains the poor to not seek government systemic solutions to the inequality that creates their poverty.

      It’s actually curious to read this comment while several others state how they could manage to pay their debt, but they choose to be in debt because it’s somehow convenient for them. I believe them, it’s just curious because anyone could say the same.
