    Life is unfair. There are no free rides, nor should there be.

    And this attitude is exactly why life is unfair. Doesn’t have to be like this, there’s other ways of organizing societies than “fuck you, I got mine” and not just hypothetically; welfare systems are a thing in many countries you know. Or at least were until relatively recently, thanks to people who think like you.

      Sorry to be the bearer of bad news my dude. I didnt make it this way. I assure you what I think doesn’t amount to squat.

      Sitting around and wishing for the good old days is just an insane notion of looking at the past with zero appreciation for the magic of the modern world.

      I wish the world was fair, truly. It sucks, but realism feels like a better place to hang my hat.

        Yes, better just lie down and take it rather than aspire for something better

              You saw through my clever charade!?

              Look, I hate the man as much as anyone. It is just that I got a job and a mortgage and a family and I woke up one morning old and the man.

              Quoth the poet Ben Folds, “everybody know it sucks to grow up”
