  • I feel this. I love modestly but my parents had it worse so we didn’t do much either. What gets me is the amount of people who are reaping the benefits of generational wealth which I think is the only reason my peers are affording the lives they have.

    It’s part of why I associate most with immigrants. They understand the struggle more than people who look like me.

    I have an Indian coworker who lives with her husband and child in a 1 bedroom apartment and she’s the single breadwinner and struggles hard. I admire her more than anyone else in my office.














  • I won’t disagree but you’re (intentionally?) shifting goalposts.

    As already stated and the easiest example is I’ve been told by multiple friends about waiting in the bread line for their parents for hours. As a North American imagine having to wait for the state to give you your bread for the day and having to wait 6 hours in line to get it. Is this really what people want to glaze?

    This is also ignoring the rampant corruption that also existed in the USSR at the time too. You could argue it was more corrupt than we have in North America now.



  • I have many friends that were children of the block like you. Talk to them and they all share your same opinion. It is fucked up today the western youth is now glazing on the old USSR days when you talk to everyone who experienced them and they were garbage.

    Personally speaking I don’t want to have to wait in a bread line every morning.

    Sigh. It’s different because you are specifically targetting him which is illegal. Their argument is this is untargetting mass surveillance. This is what makes it ok. If you can prove (and you won’t) that flock is individually targetting and tracking you then yes we have a problem and the sentiment in the image is correct

    I get the sentiment of the image but Jesus Christ it’s lazy. They are two different things. You should all understand that. Fight the right fight. This is a problem with the law, not the person.
