Economic Cruelty

The deliberate and systemic design of an economy, that enriches a tiny elite—billionaires jet-setting the globe—while forcing billions into poverty, desperation, and cutthroat competition for scraps.

It’s the violence of capitalism laid bare: for every yacht, there’s a street fight over coins for coffee.

Not an accident, but a feature of a world that thrives on inequality, exploitation, and the suffering of the marginalized.
While billionaires party at their beach mansions, Uber, and the gig economy’s economic cruelty, encourage and reward, delivery riders crashing into each other, for a $5 order.

Cruelty

I'm guilty of cruelty l, therefore, you're allowed to steal my shit according to none of the laws. But the thing they were doing to me before I started doing this WASN'T cruelty because they can always just say "I wasn't trying to hurt him. I was just gaslighting and joining in on the orwrllian over reach."
Hym "Cruelty as a response to cruelty. Which ACCORDING TO THE ISRAELI JEWS is both justifiable and necessary. Except I didn't actually kill any kids or women. I'm not committing a genocide... Yet."

In an age of performative cruelty,

kindness is punk as fuck.
Be punk as fuck.

wonton cruelty

When you buy a boatload of Chinese food and don't let your friends have any.
Even though I was really hungry and you had five pounds of Chinese food, you wouldn't give me any. That's wonton cruelty!
