    Let’s cut through the bullshit. They’re trying to equate their six figure salary to 30k. They’re trying to leverage social media to validate their mental gymnastics.

    It happens far too often. Especially on reddit. Whether they get affirmations or refutations they use either response to further cement their position. They love nothing more than to have some poor to try to refute them so they can be condescending to the lowly poors about how financially illiterate they are. And it gives them an opening to further contort their argument out loud about how they make so much money yet are as poor as those with the lowest income. In other words it’s out of touch rich people shit.

    This kind of comment chain happens so much it’s basically scripted.

      Yes, your comment sounds scripted. There is a big difference between 999k and 100k, yet both are 6 figures.

      People like you just make the lower 99% fight amongst themselves by crying about how one person should shut the fuck up because they can actually pay for basic necessities—yet not much else.

      Know the enemy, bud. It’s not your neighbor.

        You’re not my neighbor. And you just did exactly what I called you out for. Like I said, scripted responses. I’m sure you felt smug about it. Btw 30k isn’t 100k. See how that works? Or can you not handle someone trying to tell you something up on that high horse.

          Another “scripted response” to create a divide between the working class. If you have to work to live, then you are exactly the same as everyone else who has to work to live.

          Are you not able to handle someone telling you that the only enemy is the ruling class? Does that make you upset because you know there’s nothing you can do about that? Does the working class seem like an easier target to you and that’s how you get your dopamine?

          I’m happy your life is where it’s at, it’s exactly what you deserve.
