        Sorry… what happens when I surpass $1,000,000 in net worth? Do I get a trophy? Why should that be my goal?

        If you blame the world for your problems you will never surpass $1,000,000 in net worth.

        I guess, technically.

        But also, if you don’t blame the world for your problems you will never surpass $1,000,000 in net worth.

        You just will never surpass $1,000,000 in net worth.

          Yeah, you definitely won’t. It’s pretty attainable for everyone I see - every house is worth over $1,000,000! and all my neighbours own theirs, some are 2-3 million dollars with beautiful hillside views. so what are you doing wrong?

        I wish this had been at least twice the length. It would have made a wonderful new copy-pasta.

        Privilege to exist without being targeted, harrassed, or threatened. Anyone who says “I don’t see the point, everyone should just be chill and live” or some shit has never experienced bigotry or othering. Then the second you point this out, white people be like, but that’s not fair… now you’re targeting me 😭😭 even though they are experiencing a fraction of a fraction of that in an online space compared to living through it every day of their life.

        Nobody is trying to push you towards transitioning. Protesting for trans rights is simply about protecting trans people from discrimination. What your saying is the equivalent of “I don’t support gay rights because I feel like their existence pushes me to be gay.”
