For me it’s saying, “we can’t joke about anything anymore”. Sirens go off immediately 🚨

    The people who respond to everything with “no one owes you anything” and “pull yourself up by the bootstraps”.

    We all know no one owes us anything, going out of your way to respond like this, actually shows malice.

    EDIT: Thank

      And these are also the types that claim that individual acts of charity are all we need to solve homelessness, hunger, etc. These assholes didn’t get rich by giving it away.

        No, you need industrial scale organizations, that are funded by large groups of individuals, and create services for free. Specifically, homes, and living conditions.

      I dunno. I feel like the US owes me several years of my life back. I’m not even a US citizen, but their bullshit effected me and my family so badly after 2008 I’m still pissed about it.

      I dunno, I seem to have to remind entitled brats that no one owes them anything not to be mean, but just to remind that in the real not everyone is your mom or dad. Life is tough, you need to earn your spot.

        you need to earn your spot.

        Do I? From whom? Who owns all these spots and why are we beholden to earn one from them?
