“The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less.” - Socrates

    “I’m in my 30’s, have 2 degrees, have had a soul- rushing corporate job for more than a decade. I’m quite happily married. We bought a house when we were 23- younger than Carly here in this comic.”

    Yes you are because all of this starting privilege doesn’t go to poor people. You’re extremely privileged roleplaying as some communist keyboard warrior when in reality you know nothing of the struggles of the people this comic represents.

    I won’t glaze you. You’re incredibly privileged and have found success because of this privlage. Any argument otherwise is delusional.

      There’s a huge different between being privileged and being bourgeoisie. Or else the proletariat would be virtually non-existent.

      And poor people, including people in trailer parks, can get 2 degrees and a corporate job, and buy a house. It’s difficult, and especially the part about secondary education has gotten worse over time.

      You’re just a slave to desire, to avarice, to greed. Convinced you can work yourself to death and that one day the benevolent overlorda will reward you with happiness.

        "You’re just a slave to desire, to avarice, to greed. Convinced you can work yourself to death and that one day the benevolent overlorda will reward you with happiness. "

        Says the guy who opened with how much shit he owns and how young he was when it was given to him.

        You’re not impressing me with your bourgeoisie denialism. It’s genuinely sad that you think you’re the opposite of what you actually are. You’re lying to yourself and it’s incredibly obvious.
