Is this biased reporting?

So what you are saying is that poverty generates ignorance, and that the only way for ignorant people to "let off steam" is to riot? Get real! I don't understand where you’re coming from or how you think your "argument still stands?" In my opinion, your ideals and generalizations aren't helpful to society, rather facilitate a destructive mentality. It is ideas like yours that incite Anarchy to justify the means. It just dawned on me that when I read your posts, I feel like I'm reading the lyrics of a Rage Against The Machine song.

EDIT - After re-reading what you wrote, it seems to me your implying Capitalism is the cause of poverty and poverty is the cause of violence; thus Capitalism = violence in your words. This is more tangible to me than poverty = ignorance because I know a lot of very intelligent people who failed to make a living and would be considered poor however, I fail to see how Capitalism = violence as a truism in your arguments.

You are stretching my words. I never said "the only way for ignorant people to 'let off steam' is to riot". If that's your comprehension of what I said then your comprehension skills have failed you. But, yes, poverty does generate ignorance to a degree and that's perfectly demonstrated in every study out there regarding education in this country. Personally, I could give two #$%&s what you think with regard to my ideals. I don't see how you can interpret them as fostering a destructive mentality when I'm preaching about meeting the needs for ALL in this country and putting an end to war. Poverty is destructive. War is destructive. I'll chalk it up to your less than steller comprehension skills though.

How does Capitalism = violence? Because it demands war, for one. That is self-evident.
