    “If you don’t earn money, you don’t deserve to live.”

    This is how I interpreted it and it definitely feels true, that’s how capitalism treats us.

      For clarification, I initially read it to mean that anybody “poor enough” to have to work to earn money does not deserve to live. I.e., rich people are human, everybody else is subhuman.

      Your interpretation I saw a few moments later, and that the post was criticizing that phrase. Basically, the polar opposite of my first impression.
