No he isn't starting to figure it out, he's still just as out of touch with reality as he ever was. In fact he may be getting worse if that's even possible

I think he's still out of touch.

 :rofl:

In all seriousness, though, this was the perfect time to identify him as "Harvard Man David Hogg." I award this thread title 2 out 5 stars; needs improvement.

Why isn't he going after the REAL root of the problem?

Greedy corporations that charge people to live in apartments and other greedy corporations that charge people for the food that they eat...

LIFE NECESSITIES ARE A HUMAN RIGHT AND SHOULD BE FREE!

Man, this moron is so low on my scale of insults that my normal insult of "jackass" is a compliment.

It is all rolled up into the same systemic root cause - out of control, late-stage capitalism, which has invaded every facet of society including the government and elections.

"Late Stage Capitalism" is the new favorite whipping boy for those that see inequity everywhere.  My wife threw it out in conversation last week and was pretty upset when I challenged her to define it.  These idiots parrot Marx and don't even know what they are referring to.  Actually it's worse, they parrot other idiots that were trying to twist obseved reality into Marx's theories when it didn't work.  It's like third and forth degree idiocy.

Originally It was the term that mid century Marxists used to describe post WWI capitalisms. Some German wank split capitalism up into stages in the early 20th century, and "Late Capitalism" was where he was at at that time.

More recently the new Bougie Marxist crowd has decided it's a catch-all for what they see as the inevitable sins of Capitalism (inequity, worker exploitation, profits, blah blah.)  Which shows a shocking [not really] ignorance of actual conditions under 19th century Capitalism, or any century socialism.  But they have Twitter and Liberal Arts degrees so we are subject to their inane navel-gazing and regurgitated failed 19th century philosophy.  Hence Mr. Hogg.

I got curious as to what old David was studying, and Google tells me he's getting a Pol-Sci Bachelors with a focus on the "History of Conservatives Political Movements".  I'm going to bet he doesn't hang with a bunch of investment bankers in those classes.

With a Bachelor's degree in that, he'll be qualified for a career in food service or package delivery.

But he might have difficulty earning "corner office" wages in those career tracks.

Leftists are extremely adept at using the language that most advances their sick worldview. "Late-stage capitalism" portrays capitalism as something on its way out.

In the VIP section. What award did he win? Darwin Award?

Oh, sorry. I do the "stop loading" thing to read that section. It was some kind of peace prize.

To me it sounds as if they're trying to make it sound like a terminal disease.  I suppose that's how they think of it, something that will kill its benevolent Marxist host.
