  I’ve been pretty poor - I was just reviewing my social security statement and I made less than $15k two years in a row. I’ve been the overemployed kind of poor (working multiple jobs) and the underemployed kind (out of work). I’ve been a vegetarian throughout, and I’ve always managed to put my recycling into a bin.

  I also have ADHD, and there are times when I get overwhelmed and do have to compromise my morals on something like throwing stuff away instead of donating to get through a move when I don’t have the bandwidth.

  But those are stories about me, not generalizations about everyone who is poor or everyone with ADHD. If you want to talk about your own struggles, that’s great, we’ll listen. But you don’t get to generalize about everyone else you have decided must be just like you. Being poor sucks, but if you are bound and determined to wallow and to bring everyone else down with you, that’s on you. These generalizations are not making some kind of classist point you think they are.

  That’s the problem with this entire post. Who is saying any of this? Whose morals are we talking about? If you can just as easily recycle something as throw it in the trash and you choose not to recycle because your rent is too high and your boss is a piece of shit, that’s just nonsense. On the other hand, as a vegan, I personally do not have any moral objection to you illegally hunting animals for food if that’s the only access to food you have. What is the point of any of this, is this some kind of vaguebooking about some other post?
