there is definitely some element of jealousy to some of the poverty porn in CSPAM. and conversely self-loathing when employed by the people here who are actually well-off

eh I would say there is much more rationalization because let’s be real goons are more than not well off and are just protecting their own. Like getting weirdly defensive over some YouTube star or whatever she does in the guillotine thread

I think it’s more than some. in a thread about people who regularly commit crimes against humanity we got “this girl bought an apartment and she’s not even a brain surgeon! WTF??” then people pearl clutching when it’s pointed out buying a home in Manhattan isn’t inherently evil. like you never see people posting stories about a doctor or author buying a nice house. wonder why

yea. i should have put "rich people" in quotes. Either way its tiring that people think the guillotine is for people that have a higher wage then themselves.

jealousy is when you're overly worried someone will take something that you already own and value

what you're referring to is a different thing called envy


so for example you might jealously guard your "chase rare" funko pops, while envying someone who buys a home large enough to house and display a funko pop collection as enormous as your own

I’ve come around on the Peloton. Yes there are cheaper options but the difference between spending $600 or $2,000 on an excersize bike isn’t guillotine worthy. If you count the time and resources it used to take me to drive to and from a modestly priced gym, plus the monthly membership it’s at worst a wash.

if you only go to the gym to ride a bike sure. also they’re $5000 not $2000 and the classes cost $40 a month so that’s basically a gym membership. they’re absolutely dumb but not really guillotine worthy. unless the owner won’t shut the gently caress up about it. then they go to the gulag with crossfit people.

They are definitely not $5,000

The one my wife got was about $2200 with whatever warranty and accessories she added on. But yes the membership is $40 and that’s a grift on it’s own cause you can get just the digital app for $15 a month

You kind of have to consider age when talking about something like getting a $2M apartment. An older adult who has been working a very high income job for decades could feasibly do so, but a very young adult doing so implies very different things about a person's financial situation.

Also, bragging about it, especially as a younger person, is extremely hosed up. It implies that she either only knows and associates with other rich people, or that she's just a really bad person who doesn't care about the lives of like 95% of her age cohort (though I guess I'm repeating myself).

no, it implies she’s a successful media personality who’s excited about her new house. idk how that video is offensive in any way. nobody posts first round NFL draft picks in here when they throw their new lambo up on instagram at 22. it’s jealousy (envy??) because they think she doesn’t “deserve” it since all she does is stream on twitch (and probably latent misogyny if we’re being real)
