Lol. You must be making solid points because I don’t even feel like disagreeing with you anymore.
I see the mindset you were referring to in everyone around me. They’re just waiting for the next institution to pick them up and carry them from where the last one dropped them.
They don’t care that they’re prisoners in their own lives, enslaved by debt and obligation. They sure love to bitch about it (or anything else for that matter), though.
Even something as simple as opening a Coinbase account for the $5 worth of BTC is too much effort for everyone I know, even faced with seeing its growth over the last decade.
I talked my s/o into investing in a few Splinterlands assets, some of which I delegated to myself, in part for compensation for the hassle of trying to drag her kicking and screaming into the future, and even though I’ve been over it time and time again, she’ll never figure out how to reclaim or sell them if I’m not around to do it for her.
I swear to Christ and Lucifer alike if I happened across someone who “gets it” I’d pack everything I own up in the truck and skip town as fast as the son of a bitch would roll. But I digress...
I think I said all that to say maybe I’ve just been trying to define equality from the wrong perspective. We’re all equally entitled to be just as poor and bitchy as we like. It’s just too much easier than sacrifice, discipline, and effort.
Fuck ‘em. I guess they can keep going hungry for everything they’re too lazy to go get. I’m tired of trying right now and don’t know why I should even bother. I’ll find better people to associate with higher up, anyway.
