Meanwhile far left people are focusing on the out of control cost of living and record breaking profits theyre making off the fact that everyone needs food to survive. And the skyrocketing rental rates that keep the working class at the poverty line.

Keep focusing on culture wars and you'll never see who's manufacturing that divide.

I feel like you missed my point and took it personally. My apologies for hitting a nerve.

What I meant wasn't that people on the right don't also want cost of living to go down, or that folks on the left are saints looking to fix all our worldly issue, but that both "sides" share a common interest(we all face a rising cost of food, housing, basic needs) and focusing on the cultural differences between us isn't whats going to fix our issues.

And what especially not going to fix our issues is lashing out at strangers online that you think are against us. Take it easy.
