Re: "Hard work isn't real! Everyone with money was privileged from the start!"

It is not true that people who are poor are poor because they are lazy or because they are not hardworking.

However, that's what the narrative is used to imply. Including by you, right now.

DA

AYRT specifically said that there is no "guarantee of success" (i.e. even hard-working poor people can remain poor). So they weren't implying that at poor people are lazy at all.

I mean, I'm definitely reading into it, but it seems like they're very, very insistent on the importance of never letting anyone forget that hard work can help you succeed.

AYRT - Well, yes and no. I think it can, yes, and I don't like that being undermined. That does NOT mean that I don't think poor people work hard, or that all rich people do, for that matter.

The problem with that though is the assumption that what I said somehow contradicts with the notion that hard work increases your chances of success - like they thought it needed to be said in context of my comment. I don't know why else they would do it unless they thought that what I said - "hard work is not a guarantee of success" - somehow also implied "hard work means you can't ever be successful and therefore there is no point in working hard if you are poor". Which is how a lot of people think poor people think.

Your reading comprehension needs work.
