    It’s not zero sum - it’s just that rich fuckers steal so much value from the system that all we have are the scraps they leave behind.

    Education is an example of a clearly value adding activity - the benefits of education far out weight the costs… it’s just selfish fucks funneling that money away into tax cuts and religious private schools that leave us feeling like it’s us vs. the world.

    Don’t buy the neoliberal and neoconservative narratives. Your neighbors are your friends.

      That sounds zero sum to me.

        But the other students and parents aren’t your opponents - it’s more efficient to work cooperatively to change local school boards.
