“I’m in my 30’s, have 2 degrees, have had a soul- rushing corporate job for more than a decade. I’m quite happily married. We bought a house when we were 23- younger than Carly here in this comic.”
Yes you are because all of this starting privilege doesn’t go to poor people. You’re extremely privileged roleplaying as some communist keyboard warrior when in reality you know nothing of the struggles of the people this comic represents.
I won’t glaze you. You’re incredibly privileged and have found success because of this privlage. Any argument otherwise is delusional.
There’s a huge different between being privileged and being bourgeoisie. Or else the proletariat would be virtually non-existent.
And poor people, including people in trailer parks, can get 2 degrees and a corporate job, and buy a house. It’s difficult, and especially the part about secondary education has gotten worse over time.
You’re just a slave to desire, to avarice, to greed. Convinced you can work yourself to death and that one day the benevolent overlorda will reward you with happiness.
Look dude, I almost completely agree with you and am in a very similar position to you, including the philosophy part.
However, you’re utterly denying the privileges and ease of life that comes with money. Money removes the existential dread of “how will I survive AND pay the bills next month.” In your position, you have almost certainly either experienced at least a middle class childhood, or were fortunate enough that you had the cognitive capacity and necessary support to overcome the cards stacked against you.
You’re completely ignoring the effects of poverty and resulting helplesness, either through low education, untreated (mental) health issues, abusive families, or all of those. All these issues compound and make your statement just laughable, even with the token remark about education.
And poor people, including people in trailer parks, can get 2 degrees and a corporate job, and buy a house. It’s difficult, and especially the part about secondary education has gotten worse over time.
With this, you’re not just showing a complete and utter lack of empathy and understanding, you’re actively supporting the conservative “lazy poors” rhetoric and the system leading to systemic oppression of the less fortunate. You’re pulling up the ladder behind you.
That person’s a NIMBY, or performative liberal if you prefer. I was a bit too much of a dick about it but I could tell immediately and refuse to glaze.
Anyone who spouts that level of naive shit and isn’t a teenager is willfully ignorant and most likely a conservative at heart.

Says the guy who opened with how much shit he owns and how young he was when it was given to him.
You’re not impressing me with your bourgeoisie denialism. It’s genuinely sad that you think you’re the opposite of what you actually are. You’re lying to yourself and it’s incredibly obvious.
