you know, rich fucks generally aren't lying when they say they became rich through their hard work, in that most of them had the option to do far less work in exchange for smaller but still perfectly comfortable sums of money. the underlying reason why they are all fucks lies in the motivation behind the decision to push the slider all the way to the figgies side of the trade-off, because you max out on mid-to-long term financial security pretty quickly.

well the motivation isn't to buy the world's largest collection of action mans, it's to buy superiority over other human beings. any time they see a service worker looking at all happy, or not debasing themselves to the maximum extent possible before them, it devalues their investment into that objective. so that's why they invariably all promote and vote for all the anti worker rights, anti minimum wage poo poo, because that is what it is really all about: it is not enough that i win, everybody else must lose.

the us vs them poo poo always originates from the fucks at the top, for reasons of pure malice. "internet commies" are just people who recognize the situation for what it is and make the feeling mutual.

if anyone is shocked at this behavior, do yourself a favor and read Dickens' A Christmas Carol sometime

well yeah but it's still pretty loving rare that you meet someone in real life whose behavior matches a caricature of a miser intended to be a comically exaggerated moral fable

Anyway it's pretty clear that being wealthy is inherently haraam but being generous goes a long way towards redemption. got another friend who's a several-millionaire and he is out of touch and bougie as gently caress in a lot of ways but he also buys everyone's booze every time we go out so I think that at least earns him advance notice of the revolution or something

Very large accumulations of money are generally acquired by those at the top of the capitalist system, by directly exploiting their workers and indirectly exploiting everyone else poor

here’s the content of my pm. it was at the peak of your hyperventilating about accepting a position and the jobs thread, myself included, were trying to be encouraging.

Hi. I work at Apple and I know several openly trans people at the company and nobody gives a poo poo. So I suggest you take a deep breath and relax. It's going to be fine. You can be open about it if you want to, or you can keep it private. Management certainly doesn't care and HR is very aware of these issues.

nowhere did I call you dumb. I suggested that you have the option to be open about it if you so desire. there is no part of it that is disparaging.
