    Oh fuck off with this ‘survive’ nonsense.

    Literally every bitch I know in America complaining about “not having enough money” spends it like a goddamn idiot.

    Doordash every day. Subscriptions out the wah-zoo for things they can be getting for free.

    You’d better believe most of them are going to be buying a switch 2 instead of emulating.

    No, they get no sympathy from me. They all deserve what’s coming to them and I hope it hits hard.

      It kinda sounds like you’re shaming people simply for spending their money on entertainment, food or better living conditions. That kind of take can come off like saying, “you’re poor, so you don’t deserve to enjoy anything.”

      I get that there are alternatives like pirating, but that doesn’t really solve the bigger issue: we shouldn’t have to resort to that in the first place.

        I’ll shame someone for using door dash. No able bodied person deserves servants to both cook for them and deliver hot food to them from across town. That is an incredible privilege that should be reserved for those truly in need or as an expense luxury.

        No, it’s not “all or nothing.”

        You people keep pretending that’s what I’m arguing for because you don’t want to acknowledge your own contribution to the problem.

        but that doesn’t really solve the bigger issue

        It does if enough people do it.

        we shouldn’t have to resort to that in the first place.

        Correct, but we don’t live in a perfect world.

  It’s easier to fight with each other than it is to fight our puppet-masters.
