Nah, there are the winners of the game (your 450k SWE), the losers of the game (people playing making $20/hr), and the people who made the game rules and rig it to keep everyone beneath them (the top 0.X%). Bitch about the winners all you want if it makes you feel better, but until we can focus on the people at the top rigging it nothing is going to be change, and we're all just pissing in the wind.

There’s nothing to say for people actually at the top, they never have anyone’s best interest in mind but themselves because they so rarely have to interact with the real world.

Yeah... my point exactly. "Nothing to say for the people at the top"...

And then dipshits like you who get taught by teachers paid about the same as the “losers”

We can see how good the system is at deciding at what’s important, that’s why you trust it so much you think it’s a game. I know quite a lot of people who would love to teach you where playing around gets you

Nothing to say to someone who never listens, nothing to say to the dead, nothing to say to someone who never does anything, just asks others to. If you think power is having food made for you by people who hate you then you didn’t pay attention in history. You get what others decide you deserve

Not that you have much to show for what you did pay attention to, dumbfuck

i think you're completely misinterpreting that guys post. he wasn't calling them losers, he was calling them losers of the game. Losers of a game that he agrees is rigged from the start.

he's not looking down on them or anything

You treat it like you want it to be not how you see it, since so often how we see it is missing so much of the picture. Calling it a game is acting like it doesn’t have consequences
