Helping other people -sometimes by putting yourself in active danger- is so..... selfish and privileged????

Seriously, I'd love to hear this person's idea of what someone with generational wealth should be doing to be a good person.

They're probably self-deprecating to the point where they see her trying to help and feel inadequate for not being able to do the same. They understand that she has the resources to do so and they don't, but those feelings of inadequacy still don't go away, so they just want her to be gone so that they don't have to feel that way anymore.

I see that line of thinking all the time in people who have internalized the American propaganda of "work hard and you'll find success." They can't process the fact that they're working as hard as they can without achieving success, so they rebel against the idea of success itself regardless of how its used, because they see that as easier to topple than the broken system that causes the issue in the first place.

They're in such distress that they no longer care about whether we're moving forward or backward as a society, so long as they feel a bit better right now. It's exactly where the elite want us to be.

They're pretty obviously a Zionist troll, paid or not, and as such they will never argue in good faith nor have basic moral standards.

"Why doesn't she get a real rich parents job like Senior Financial Analytics Executive?"

This person probably thinks nobody deserves a life the slightest less miserable as theirs

what someone with generational wealth should be doing to be a good person.

Give their butler a generous holiday bonus after they drive you home insufferably drunk on new years

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Ugh you let your butler drive you places? That's not how you butle properly. Mine uses a rickshaw.

Peasant. Mine uses his arms to carry me everywhere in a human throne.

You see, unprivileged people are too busy working for a living to try to change the system that destroys the world while keeping most people too busy and exhausted to change the system. This is of course, the fault of the people that tries to change the system, apparently.

No, you got to understand:

The best thing to do is launch several startups that will either fail or succeed by sucking all the life of your employees and if you can make your customers lives miserable also you hit the jackpot.
