RE: No, There's Nothing 'Cool' in Being Poor... A Wednesday Walk Through Harsh Truths

in Wednesday Walk27 days ago

Poverty in big cities can be hidden in plain sight. This reflection is a reminder of that and regardless where we are, it's pretty similar. It's fascinating that there are glorification of poverty, think about how sometimes minimalism can be in a fine line of glorifying poverty as in framing it as a choice rather than actual systemic inequality. But to those people poverty is real, it's their daily struggle and sometimes can feel like inescapable situation.

You know, dear @macchiata? We love to watch into the other sidewalk. That itself explains why, as a society, we do not demand more actions to fight this kind of inhumane lack of empathy to other human being, for God's sakes... Thank you for mentioning the minimaliatic part of the romantization, friend... Couldn't say any better than you did.
