The problems are:

  • they don't have money to buy homes
  • they don't have money to buy beds
  • we accept their suffering as necessary so that someone can make money from selling those things
  • we accept that their life is worth nothing without the value of their labor
  • we abdicate our own responsibility and become complicit by refusing to acknowledge the lack of humanity in this system

Interpreting everything through individuality is a choice. Just because you refuse to acknowledge systemic injustice does not mean it does not exist.
