No, probably not. If they do, they're not the people we're talking about.

They are exactly the type of the people we're talking about. People in poverty tend to stay there because of poor decisions. Go look at Reddit, the queers screaming that capitalism has failed since they're poor are wasting their money on funko pops and video games. Late Stage Capitalism isn't capitalism proving it has failed, it's lazy mother fuckers wasting their money on stupid shit and saying it has failed since they have no self control nor determination to improve their situation.

I don't know, all of the larger businesses monopolozing and making conditions on small businesses extremely difficult or impossible to keep up with doesn't help. There are small businesses that don't want to stoop to the big companies' abysmal business practices, or can't afford the level of inventory to ģet discounts to the same degree. They're being wiped out because most consumers have to go for the cheaper services/products, and outside of ethics or potentially quality-- why wouldn't they?

People on reddit aren't fully human though. Okay, maybe a slight exaggeration. There are probably a percentage of legitimately functional humans on reddit, but they wouldn't be one of the lazy mother fuckers doing the above.

What you describe in your above comment is what I'd consider a type of human bot, which appears human, but is being operated by an outside force. That's why their behavior seems so inexplicable.
