I remember people giving them shit for saying if you have no can opener you can use a knife. Because "you could injure yourself!" and "you can gert a can opner for a pound!"
No, YOU can. IF you live somewhere that sells one (and it actually works and doesn't disintegrate) and IF you have time to find it and IF you can spare a pound, when the entire fucking point of the book was that not everyone can
I had opened several cans with a knife. Yes you could get hurt if you did it wrong but guess fucking what poverty means about how many options you have, and how many risks you're forced to take
Condescending, smug arseholes attacking someone actually trying to help, instead of just clout farm
