      I dunno, you’re not in a diamond mine, or locked up in a basement being sold for sex… and you can afford a phone

      … so I’d say, relative to the many possible hells that exist on earth, a capitalist hell for you is pretty nice.

        All those other things happen in capitalist hell. It’s incredibly selfish to think everything is fine if only you are fine.

          That’s true. Good thing I don’t think that. Good thing I never said anything like that. I wouldn’t want anyone to hear what they wanted to hear, twist the original intent, and then send a retort designed to make me look like some kind of selfish person in order to make themselves feel superior.

          Here, I’ll use your tactic: It’s incredibly hypocritical to suggest that you are living in hell because other people suffer, while you enjoy the comforts of a capitalist world. You are not living that hell. You are just viewing other people’s suffering, with popcorn, and offering up your thoughts and prayers.
