On a camping forum I once in a while frequent, a couple were complaining about a slightly newer camper they bought that’s literally falling apart because of manufacturer’s defects. People were attacking them for essentially being poor and not being able to make the fixes themselves. It was insane. This seemingly nice, older couple spent what little they had on what is one of the cheaper ways to travel and get around - and the entitled community was just shitting on them. Pretty much just pounced.
Americans love to punish the victims of capitalism. It’s fucking nuts.
Yeah, I think this is the main thing that motivates the just world fallacy
Outdoor enthusiast groups seem to be some of the worst for this these days. I’m guessing because the gear is expensive and fashionable now, as well as a lot of white collar tech people flocking to it as an aspirational lifestyle thing.
I love camping and backpacking, I hate the elitist trust fund granola types so much. Backpacking/hiking gear is getting fashionable, so I can only afford used/REI garage sale gear, I hate it so much
Always made me feel weird when r*dditors would talk about people making less than $60k as subhuman or deserving of suffering. Going into local city subreddits is the worst. Just endless posts of people looking for apartments with a $2-$3k a month budget in a city where the average wage is $10hr unless you know the right people, and cheering on the encroaching gentrification and homogenity of the city.
Did you ever see the documentary about gameing in cuba? Someone was running a vanilla wow instance on an old emachine under his bed. Then they did a counterstrike lan party.
Truely the promised land.
It is the former giant bomb 💣 video person from the meme.
God I know. I’m subscribed to a couple personal finance subreddits and the amount of posts that are like “I’m 22 and my take home is 20k a month, can I afford this $1.5m house as my third investment property??” is just unreal.
