I'm tired of people using their economic status or lack thereof as something to be proud of, or acting like it gives them some kind of cool cred. Thinking that you're automatically more worldly, less sheltered, and more practical than other people just because you have less money than them is as naive as thinking that you're automatically more knowledgeable and correct and insightful about the world because you're a cynic instead of the sheeple.

I say this as someone who's been on both sides of the economic spectrum.

FTR, rich people going "poor people are ignorant" annoys me just as much as people going "rich people are so weird omg how can they even???" But we don't see as much of the former here.

You calling me that illustrates you didn't read what I said. You somehow read the opposite of what I said. Huh.

Objectively wrong. You're shooting for the wrong end of the spectrum. This "conversation" isn't going anywhere though, so bye.

Sorry about the troll you got. I agree with you completely.

It's interesting. I've been rich and I've been poor, and rich is better, but they're different in weird ways.

When you're poor, you console yourself with the thought that if those pampered rich bastards had to live your life, they wouldn't last a week. And that's true. They don't have the skillset necessary to survive in the wrong class.

But it's also true in reverse: if poor people suddenly became rich, they wouldn't last a week. We have surprisingly extensive testing of this theorem in the form of lottery winners.

Not to say I think the despicable wealth gap in the United States is anything other than a national embarrassment that needs to be scaled back to, say, 1960s levels posthaste. Just that the way socioeconomic class works is weirder than it looks.

As far as I can see, nobody is acting as if being poor gives you cool cred. More like, it makes you morally superior.
