  • Ok, lemmy crybabies. Me and my millennial friends all graduated from a university in Europe. None of us were born rich, but we’re all well-off now. By now everyone lives in different country, works in a different field, but literally everyone can afford a mortgage, a car, a ski trip, and maybe for their partner not to work for a few years if kids would be born.

    Yet, imagine that, nobody really planned for their career to be lucrative. People just did what they thought was interesting and did it well. Only one dude was after money. He went into banking and now probably makes close to a mil annually.

    I reiterate. All that was necessary for a financial success was to find an interesting job and do it with passion. To me this sounds like a communist dream.

    And yet lemmy keeps telling me every day that it could only be possible if all of us were born rich, or sucked to corpos or whatever. You’re just a bunch of sore losers, lemmy.

    Enjoy your holidays and think about your life choices.







  • And exactly why, as an adult, can’t I vote for “no work on Fridays”? Why can’t I decide for myself as adult “I don’t want to spend money on universal healthcare, I want to spend it on weed, and if tomorrow I get cancer I’ll happily die, I’ll take that gamble”. Who are you, anon, to take that choice away from me and, who the f are you to dictate me how to responsibly live my life?

    And if you think you know what’s best for me, or for whoever else voted for the “wrong for them” politician, then you’re simply against democracy. State this clearly “I know what’s best for people, and they don’t cuz they’re sheep trusting the wolf”.

    And suddenly instead of being a resistance fighter you turn into a benevolent superior being whose help is somehow unappreciated. A very different picture in my opinion.
