White people in the '30s and '40s were buying houses for a little as $1,000 and have been stacking up generational wealth ever since. Meanwhile entire black neighborhoods were deemed unworthy of home loans. I don't want to hear s*** about a "mentality" when these people are still alive, both those who were discriminated against, and those who were discriminating

My main gripe with this thread tbh is how lazy it is.

It's easy to take the stance that op has taken. It's harder to realize it's a more complicated and layered experience to be a human in this reality. It's harder to move forward through the thick sludge of time and life trying to maintain a delicate balance between knowing the objective truth that some aspects of reality are indeed out to keep you down and the acceptance that nothing is worth worrying about aside from your own actions and reactions. It's hard to do that. Easy to just fling yourself to a side and hardline follow that.

And its also especially frustrating to hear op make these posts when you or people you know have very obviously suffered at the hand of people with power.

It's bs because it seems as though op is trying to say we all face the same challenges and that life is fair. It is not and some people face a mountain of challenges. You cannot realistically expect everyone to be able to over come them. There's also people who have everything handed to them and would need to royally f*** up to not reap the benefits that their dad, grandpa, great grandpa or whatever other family member set up for them.

This thread kind of dovetails with the borderline fetishizing of productivity. Hustle culture and all that. Rise and grind. Etc. It's understandable but still sad to witness.

This is a great post man. Your point about the delicate balance is especially poignant. I just don't see how people can look at a situation like whats going on at Activision for instance and just say that generally "peoples mindset is whats holding them back,"at least not in a likely unintended ironic way.

Life isn’t fair and we will all face similar challenges to an extent.

Ain’t no problem in the world exclusive to one person. Bad health, bad family, death of loved ones, poverty, hunger, heartbreak, prejudice,etc.

It’s all apart of the human experience. to allow these challenges to stop you, you giving up the game. You’re tapping out to life.

You are 100% responsible for your success (whatever that means to you) and your failure. That should empower you.

It’s easy to blame and point fingers to explain why you didn’t do what you wanted. And the average person wants an easy life with 0 challenges. It’s hard as f*** to over come challenges. But at least try instead of complaining.

Life has gotten too comfortable in 2021. As in the convenience we created for society.

Start working out and condition your mind for overcoming struggle. Start fasting. Start withholding ejaculation. Start doing something that’s forces you to struggle so you know how to keep moving forward in challenging times

Challenges will never go away, so might as well learn to deal with them

Some people’s lives are easier than others

You only got one life tho so you have to make it work

Not enough time in this world to spend dwelling on it versus actually trying to live your best life

(Unless your main goal and passion is to fight inequality everyday and advocate for better)

Thing is people stigmatize the people facing the greatest inequality as complainers

When it comes to other kinds of people speaking up for themselves, other people need to shut up and let them be (this includes white liberals/conservatives/lgbtq allies and others who try to comment on the messages of minority groups)

Anyway, no OP you can’t say the world isn’t against people/speak to their own experiences

Everyone’s world is different than yours

the pendulum has swung so far left in our society, that the mere mention of this fact will get you labeled as being on the other side

sad but true

There are definitely systematic issues at play, but our battles all exist within.

what exactly has swung left in society

Great thread from OP. I think some of yall misinterpreting it a lil. It’s not about the number of “roadblocks” different ppl face, it’s about the attitude towards facing them

Meanwhile I’m at work right now talking to a f***ing idiot bragging to his alcoholic friend about going through someone’s trash to retrieve half drunk beer from a neighbors trash when his child hasn’t ate since yesterday morning and has dirty ass clothes laying around the house and he constantly abusing his pregnant spouse which puts his kids in jeopardy of being taken away. Did I mention the reason why I’m talking to him is because he didn’t get his child’s RX for their anxiety in the past two weeks for no reason at all? But hey at least he found half drunk beer talking bout “forgotten treasure” 😂 while I’m on a welfare check for his children, and now he’s threatening to lawyer up on the state because his dumb ass doesn’t wanna listen to reason.

f*** off OP and get some real world experiences, you have no idea how these parents/the system screw over these children. My girlfriend is a foster care worker and I’m a social worker. Some of these kids never have a chance at life due to traumatic s*** you’re privileged ass wouldn’t believe. Don’t tell me their future failures will be their faults when they can’t even get a decent night sleep before school, get taught nothing by their parents, and physically/mentally abused from a young age and have seen traumatic s*** your p**** ass would have nightmares about. Honestly it’s so bad I’ve been mad at myself for even considering eugenics being a good thing for these losers.

Some people are strong and are survivors, not everyone is able to be successful in a traditional capital society and learn a skill, that doesn’t mean they deserve to be left behind or not live fulfilling lives.

People complain now? Yeah punk ass, it’s almost as if average life was better then and wages were better. This goes without saying but people could support a household on one income, nowadays people can’t even support themselves on two jobs damn near. I see what you were going for with this thread but it’s not reflective of reality and quite frankly insulting saying people have a victim mentality when they didn’t have a fair chance in life.

I don't know why people put so much of a focus on blame and responsibility when it comes to why your life is the way it is in the first place. It's really not always that clear in the first place, and even if you could very accurately place the blame on somebody else or yourself, now what?

However it is true that when it comes to your own life, you have the most control over your own actions, so it's best to just accept that and focus on making sure that your actions match what you want to achieve. But it has nothing to do with whether you consider yourself a victim or not.

So I'm supposed to judge someone who breaks when life consistently tells them f*** you?

You can tell who's sheltered lol

World is f***ed up, op hella wrong

I half-agree with you

Nothing is impossible

^ that may sounded "deluded" to some of you, BUT if you believe something that you really wanna do is impossible, then. you already have failed at it. It's all about getting that mindset right

I half agree with you too. I will submit that you cannot give up no matter what. Once you do you lost. If you keep trying there is always a chance.

hella wrong bro! I got pills in my avi!

Ben Shapiro vibes ITT

Systemic Racism: exists

OP: Ain't s*** against you in life

this is true, but only to a specific point. this is not true for everything or everyone ever
