Nice try, but that's a material condition resulting from living under late stage capitalism.
Surface level understanding of theory is surface level.
i hit you with real world examples and you give me buzzwords
"A 2021 study from the University of Chicago estimates that 53% of people living in homeless shelters and 40% of unsheltered people were employed." Most homeless folks have jobs and lose them due to worsening Material Conditions. Facts dont care about yohr feelings. source
