    I think that’s buying into the mindset that capitalists want to project onto the lower class. Don’t dream, don’t strive for equality or equity, those are reserved for us.

    If we don’t follow our dreams it erases the very possibility of a brighter future. I think even sarcastically appealing to this kind of thought is dangerously reactionary.

    I’m the son of a poor immigrant, dropped out of highschool at 16 to work full time. I started going back to school and working nights, continuing to do so until my residency.

    It took longer and I had to work much harder, but after a certain point in a lot of fields, its fairly easy to out compete the rich kids. Most haven’t had to work for anything they’ve ever had, and so they don’t really have a true calling or any kind of work ethic.
