You are free to start your own business and run it as you see fit, but that might mean personal inconvenience and sacrifice. Much easier to sit on your ass and bitch about how someone else isn't running THEIR business the way YOU would prefer. The modern entitlement mentality in a nutshell.

Pointing out that the economy used to not be so unbalanced in favour of employers, and that the economy in other thriving first world countries still isn't that unbalanced is "the modern entitlement mentality" now? Saying "hey, maybe it's not right that lots of full-time workers can't support themselves today without government assistance when it wasn't a problem in the 50s" is "the modern entitlement mentality?"

There's that gaslighting I was talking about, which you've completely fallen for.

That's you distorting and substituting things to suit your strawman. You're pulling a Spacetard and arrogantly insisting that people who understand the situation will behave exactly as you prescribe. People who are out here making the best of reality rather than sitting on their asses and wailing about utopian fantasies know full well the deck is stacked against them, but they understand that a moment spent at least trying to scratch out a living will always be superior to one wasted idly churning out smug little one-liners to the theme of "only I understand the world and everyone else is a dupe."

This is you, but with misplaced rage instead of quiet smugness.

Don't worry, I'm not mad at you. I've been in relationships before where I was clearly being used, and what made me angriest at the time was other people trying to point it out to me. It really hurts to realize the story of your life isn't the one you've been telling yourself.

You people who think a bunch of smug, self-righteous words on the internet qualify you as enlightened activists are the ones selling yourselves fantasies. I probably do more to resist economic oppression in tangible, real-world terms than any two of you. But I don't cloak it in a bullshit fog of "equality" and social "justice" for fake internet points, so it doesn't count.

if tax evasion via cash work is the bar there, then I have you beat at least five fold. Near as I've ever seen from you it's more about the path of least resistance and obligation.

although you're still miles ahead in "smug and self righteous" bullshit.

Maybe you should go sit on the toilet for a bit.

It's just a meme and some casual observations about the fucked up American economy, dude.
