I'm going to hope this is a cultural difference, and you are roughly my parents age. However, imagining a stranger my parent's age calling me, a grown ass man with a mortgage and everything, "child" or "sweet child" is just weird. Respectfully you'd need to be at least 20 years older for that to be comfortable to me, or working at a waffle house.

Anyway we are funneling more and more wealth to the top. Reclaim that and we can all live just like my grandparents and your parents. Maybe even a bit better.

And don't worry I'm quite familiar with history. Built a career out of it myself. I just see significantly larger causes for income inequality than racial discrimination and race based exploitation alone explains.

Yes western nations even today extract wealth from poorer nations. Consumers do benefit by getting "goods". This exhange benefits the wealthy more than the consumer. I'd gladly give up cheap goods like phones or cars for affordable commodities like food, shelter, and healthcare.

I don't yearn for suburbia, I yearn to be able to live. To have a family. To not worry day to day what horrible shit my country will do only to benefit the rich.
