if someone just wants to be a Loser and ngaf they'll convince themselves that any degree of success is rare or doesn't exist basically.
Also libs/redditors really want to think that everyone is poor.

Date: July 5th, 2026 5:19 PM Author: lime concupiscible abode masturbator yeah that's what I'm saying, it exists but the "I grew up poor" people aren't the ones who experience it. Maybe because they'd just say "I am poor atm" lol.
also because of credit cards the poorest idiots can experience Consoles and Disney World at least on occasion. so not experiencing these things is more likely to be parents not wanting to spend money on that shit, possibly combined with being frugal or Indian. |

if you walk into OCI with a generic "I am Poor" study they will want you to gtfo. No one wants to get labeled Scum at the worst possible time. |

Not to mention the safety nets of police, fire, and adequate roadway/infastructure system. the only people who dont have this in the US are either drug addicts or retards.
you also do not have to worry about military conscription, child labor, sex slavery, and other brutal shit that happens in the slums of third world countries. |

Date: July 5th, 2026 7:47 PM Author: Ultramarine low-t faggotry double fault People who grew up poor or poverty-adjacent mostly reminisce fondly about their upbringings and honor their families, even though, or maybe even *because* they struggled. But they do it very, very quietly and only in like company.
And then people who grew up poor AND caught up the some horrendous web of substance abusing family and similar things to hard to either end of the spectrum. Either they’re blowing up social media with a constant stream of attention-poasting about their “trauma” or they will work very, very, very had to avoid the subject of family and childhood altogether |
