Poverty not accidental in Aotearoa NZ

[Lilith7]

Well, poverty benefits those who build wealth on exploitation. Poor people join the military. Poor people take the shit jobs. Poor people keep the bullies in jobs. The do gooders, the religious zealots, the scammers, the power motivated. They depend on the desperate.

That's capitalism. That's colonisation. That's where excessive wealth comes from.

From the poor.

Its beyond understanding, how some people knowingly exploit poor people, even to the point of physical suffering, so that they can become wealthy.

I'm not sure how they manage to sleep at night knowing that they've destroyed families, caused needless pain & even deaths all in order to become & remain, excessively wealthy.

I'm in favour of limitarianism; no one 'needs' a billion dollars, & the good which could be done with all the $ hoarded by ultra wealthy people should be morally sufficient to place limits on excessive wealth.
