As we all know James Joyce's work Ulysses follows the thoughts and day of a member of the Jewish minority in Dublin, and also the relationship of Ireland to the British Empire.

However, maybe an even better example is Finnegans Wake, as Tim Finnegan, according to the source material song, went out into the world carrying a hod. A labouring man, who carries all of the world and its events on his back.

The inequality in this picture makes me sick. I feel sorry for the people living in an engineered neighborhood with no personality, no local lore, no possibility to develop true culture.

why dont poorfags just clean the trash up and organize it better? japs were poor as fuck before we opened their borders with our big yuuro cocks, they never lived like that. in america it's the same. there are the poorfags who take pride and keep their place clean and tidy and make the best of it, and their places are charming and nice but humble. and there's the TYPE who trash it and live like pigs and probably rip the copper out of their own walls and extinguish black and milds on their carpet.

A person casually eating for simple sustenance is different that a person eating for survival. I'm sure if we were both out in the wilderness with no food and then, magically, a plate of steak appeared before us we would lunge at it savage like. Tearing at it with great enthusiasm and desperation. We'd probably gnaw at it. Take large bites. Ripe the meat and slurp it down.

Would we eat meat like this under normal, civilized, casual circumstances? Absolute not. We're desperate. Through said desperation certain ethics go out the window as our priorities change.
