I think they were referring to electric windows, but it is ambiguous in context.

They have money…

That’s basically the plot of brave new world.

I feel you might be missing the joke, from my interpretation of it you are in agreement.

My read is that it is implying that mental illness are real diseases, but they’re treated like you should just get over them, which would be ridiculous if you were bleeding out, but since they aren’t usually visible people will just tell you that you should just be better.

I think you may have misunderstood what the joke is, saying the government should help people isn’t socialism, but it is called socialism by all those who just hate poor people…

But popping tags isn’t about stealing, it lowers the price. That shirt with the stain on it shouldn’t cost $20, you pop that tag point out the stain and you’re down to $5.

Cut him off based on philosophy?

it’s not philosophy it’s ideology and personally my answer is yes. I spent my 20s hanging out with white people who openly though i was “one of the good ones” i’m so beyond over it. I’d rather have no friends than friends who I need to apologize for. Like what am i learning about my views? that I’ve surrounded myself racist assholes?

I’m not saying your wrong, or really trying to make an argument, but the book “bowling alone” came out in 2000 and it was describing the fall into social isolation and alienation before social media or the balkanization of news and entertainment. To go further back Marx was talking about the alienation of labor as far back as 1844. Like capitalism is killing us, the increased view/reach of technology is just making it obvious.
