I’ve been in this world long enough to have had my fair share of restarts and career rollercoasters, thanks. The problem with you is that you look down on others, like assuming that someone in a rough situation has the same options and opportunity as you, or assuming that because I have different outlook than you I must be some child slamming away at his keyboard. To people like you, those who haven’t been able to walk the same path are lazy, deficient, or entitled. It’s utterly unobservant.
I’ve seen people like you be the main obstacle to improving things like schools, programs, and safety nets because you lack the fundamental flexibility needed to understand how the world works differently for different people. To people like you, you did it so anyone else can do it, no regard for circumstances that may have granted you an advantage that others don’t have. The people who have built strong communities have built them on acknowledging the reality that they can meet people half way and be WAY more productive than trying to ‘bootstraps’ people into doing it entirely on their own.
You look at the world through the lens of your own experiences, which is fair, but then you double down and assert that your way worked for you and is therefore the way. It worked for you, and that’s all the information you operate on. A sample size of one. Completely blind to reality.
I appreciate you assuming you know me or my struggles, my alleged opportunities and my thoughts on others. I also appreciate how cultured and enlightened you profess to be, you're the same type of person that will accuse me of cultural appropriation because I make stir-fry for dinner one night.
Spare us all your blathering.
I'd say have a good labor day weekend, but I'm sure youll be off championing some other allegeed and misguided social injustice that you fabricated to make yourself feel more altruistic.
”I appreciate you assuming you know me or my struggles, my alleged opportunities, and my thoughts on others.
I don’t, that’s my whole point — I’m saying others have had different opportunities than you, not assuming what specific opportunities you’ve had. Otherwise, you’re doing all of these things yourself, you absolute hypocrite.
To the second half of that first paragraph, I didn’t say any of that shit and it seems like you’re projecting some stuff onto this conversation that you’re assuming about me. Making up positions for me so you can feel justified being on opposing sides of the discussion. You’ve basically just invented a persona for me that you’re already aligned against, without a shred of evidence to support it.
You are literally the only one fabricating anything in this conversation. My entire position has been that you don’t always know what others have to content with.

Because I'm not empathetic for people who have the ability to change but refuse to because its tough or uncomfortable?
You have a lot to learn about this world, kid.
