Lol just stop being poor and everything will be fine. Trust me.
Just make sure you choose rich parents when getting conceived smh
The irony being that the boomers who say the “builds character” shit had a vastly easier life compared to their parents and grandparents, who fought literal world wars. They think all societal change before them was good (including stuff like colonialism which they see as “civilizing” the savage natives) but any progress after them is the devil because it means they might have to change their behaviour or worldviews, hell, or even the idea that people they think are less than them getting less disadvantaged and oppressed than before which I guess make them jealous or something?
this one makes me mad. the sheer entitlement.
i think their entitlement largely comes from the fact that they were one of the few generation who actually had very prosperous lifes (things getting better after the war but still no shitty wages we see today) so obviously (to them) they must have done something right. And that’s why they try to share their great way of life (and doing things the right way) with everyone else, so everyone else can live a prosperous life too.
Problem is, their life wasn’t good because of what they did. It was good because they met exceptional circumstances in the world’s development where there was a lot of growth and innovation that actually improved people’s lifes. they just happened to live through it; it’s not their personal achievement.
Boomers are the generation that acts like they walked on the moon because they watched people from better generations do so on tv.
Life being worse ensures you never get any power.
that’s the unspoken goal.
and everything is harder to accomplish
Until you suddenly have all of it and things are very chaotic and messy
i wish power just came by suddenly into my hands. like, just out of nowhere.
If “Life being worse builds character” then most billionaires don’t have it built.
Character*
*Profit for the wealthy.
Yeah things were “better” under the Soviet Union.
They certainly were, both better then before and after
The irony of this meme is what really makes it hilarious
Lately I feel like the uncle who drops in occasionally and is like “wow this is a terrible thing you all have going here, and none of you are making it better, mazel tov” and leaves, my pockets stuffed with weed money.
