    I lived with my parents, then I lived in a shared apartment, then I lived in a studio apartment, I had dignity and life. You don’t need 3 rooms per person, you don’t need a yacht, you don’t need servants. If you can afford them good for you, but holy privilege demanding that as if it was a bare necessity.

      Congrats for you. Here’s the thing, the reason we can’t all have enough to be comfortable isn’t because life is hard, it’s because the resources are kept from us by thieves we hilariously call “elites”.

      I’m sorry that I want a better life than scraping by. I’m sorry I don’t love the taste of boot the same way you do. I’m not asking for a mansion you fucking donut. I didn’t ask for servants or yachts or any of that shit. I’m asking for literally one more room and for good reasons which I have already outlined. If you can’t win the argument without completely making shit up then accept the loss and back down.

        Just one more room. Just one more car. Just one more servant.

        If you want to live in luxury, earn it.

          Jesus Christ, dude, it’s basic decency.

          We are earning it. This generation is the most productive one ever and yet all the value we create is being increasingly funnelled to executives who do next to nothing.

          Wages are stagnant as hell and rent and shit is going up by astronomical amounts even for units that haven’t really changed operating costs in years just because.

          Quit sucking boot and stand up for yourself, damn. The rich aren’t going to reward you for this.

              That’s great, dude. Why you gotta be such a spiteful little bitch towards everyone else? The information on why not everyone has those opportunities is out there so really you’re either trying to defend a corporation’s right to fuck ocer employees or you’re genuinely so stupid and emotionless as to not understand how any of this works or care to learn at all.

              And oh wow, a whole house, eh? Sounds kinda greedy. What’s next, a mansion? Four cars? Seriously, some self-awareness would god a long fuckin’ way here, dude.

                Yeah, a whole house. And you didn’t find me complaining why two bedroom apartments were so expensive when I was single. Just the one car, since public transport is quite good around here. Thanks for asking.
