Raising a RADICAL LEFTIST (A Thread).
so today My 10 year old daughter and I were driving in the car and my daughter asked me, "Mom, would you rather cure cancer? or end world hunger?" and I said i would probably have to look up which would save more lives. And she said, 1/11
so today My 10 year old daughter and I were driving in the car and my daughter asked me, "Mom, would you rather cure cancer? or end world hunger?" and I said i would probably have to look up which would save more lives. And she said, 1/11
"I mean, we already know how to end world hunger, you feed people, but we dont know how to cure cancer." LOL and I was like "where did you ever get this question?" and she said from this game in a game she plays called "would you rather" so then I tell her, 2/11
"did you know jeff bezos, the owner of AMAzon, has enough money to feed the whole world?" and she said, "why doesn't he do it?" and I said, "because he is a greedy capitalist who just cares about making money and doesn't care about others." 3/11
and she said, "I wish i could take his place, that way i could feed everyone in the world" SHe said, "If i was president i would fire him and replace him with someone who isn't evil, so they can feed everyone" 4/11
and I told her, "well, the president can't really do that, thats more of a dictator" so she was like, "whats a dictator?" and i told her its someone who makes all the rules and does what they want. And i told her our government is supposed to be run by the people, 5/11
we elect people who are SUPPOSED to represent us. and she replied, "But those people who are supposed to represent us, don't huh?" and I said, "No, they represent their donors, the rich people who give them money" 6/11
and she said- "thats not fair, why don't we change things? I think we should lock all those mean people up like amazon guy- no, we shouldn't put them in jail cause it might make them more mean they might want revenge, we should...we should...send them to AFRICA!" 7/11
and I said, "why africa??" and she said, "Cause they have lions and tigers in AFrica!" hahahaha, and I said, "yes,, eat the rich!" LOL and she said, "well, i dont want anyone to get hurt- but- they need to stop being bad" 8/11
and I said, "did you know back in the old days- that was a saying, "eat the rich" because the people were tired of their government not watching out for them so they had a revolution." and she said, "well, why don't we have another revolution? to change things..." 9/11
and I said, "some people are trying- but some people are dems and some are repubs- and they are too busy fighting each other- but all the working class need to stand together against the oligarchs, do you know what oligarchs are?" 10/11
and she said, "the rich people?" and I said, "yes! the rich corrupt corporations." I just have to say, my daughter is freaking amazing and is always asking questions- I love this little girl!! and how caring she is. 11/11
