> The common factor: the capital class screwing over the working class.

This thought terminating cliche is getting real old. What are your solutions? and what evidence do you have that those solutions will solve the problems? Shaking your fists at "the elites" and regurgitating populist slop is not going to

It's the opposite of a thought-terminating cliche. It refers to an entire world and body of work, which include solutions.

You could start by reading Marx, who laid a lot of the groundwork.

I like the way you trailed off halfway through your knee-jerk reaction, underscoring just how much your response is an automated result of indoctrination.

Kapital describes the problem well. His proposed solutions were awful.
