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

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.
