Cool. so how do i magically stop being an asshole, o wise internet stranger?
just what, do what you want me to do? say what you want me to say?
oh no, sorry what I’m supposed to do is tell the 25 year old throwing a tantrum over using Slack how I’m awful and terrible and they are so much smarter and better than me because their daddy bought them a 1.5 million dollar condo and that means they are true working-class proletariat, meanwhile I’m an evil boomer because I paid for mine on my own… and that somehow makes me a white privileged oppressor of themselves… even though they are also white and massively wealthier and more privileged from birth than I ever will be.
but anyway, yeah I’m the asshole. Because I don’t listen to privileged whiny twats with oppression complexes living in a delusional version of reality fueled by their inherited wealth, who fly into a emotional tantrum at the slightest hint of someone saying ‘no’ to them…
they dont live rent free in my head, they live rent free in front of my eyes every single day.
and when i try to interact with them them tell me what an asshole i am for not driving an EV or wearing Vineyard Vines or a million other stupid things they use as empty status markers, which they then turn around and articulate as the basis for being a good person. And then when the city tries to make progressive innovation in local politics, they flip out and try to vote it down, and when they lose, they throw their money away at lawyers trying to sue to stop progress, because if they can’t stop it, they can delay it and make it cost a lot more money… because tehy have to ‘protect their investment!’ we can’t allow like, working people w/ incomes less than 250K/yr to live here because that would ‘bring crime and drugs’.
almost as if they are shitty people desperately trying got pretend they are good, but their actions are in opposition to their words.
my favorite is housing. they say ‘housing is a right for everyone’ but the second someone wants to add more housing they are 100% opposed to any and all new construction int heir community, because it’s ‘gentrification’ because everyone come wants to move here after they moved here is terrible and bad, but when they moved here and displaced existing diverse residents, it was ‘improving things’.
but hey, what do i know again, i lived here 20 years and I’m clearly a piece of shit human being or something, because i vote for increased housing and infrastructure expansion and the removal of parking spots in favor of bigger sidewalks and bike lanes… clearly that means I’m anti-trans Trump voting Nazi. At least, that’s how they see it. because if you vote for actually progressive policy, rather than talk about it and vote against it, you’re a bad person.

no, you’re just an asshole for acting like an asshole; none of the dumb bullshit you’ve brought up is relevant. You Are Missing The Point, you were told straight up that they are inclined to agree with you, stop arguing with people in your head.
Now please write another paragraph about how what I said relates to some personal burden of yours again.
