And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still ******* peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be

I suggest you read up about the brain and what the various parts do and what they are responsible for, and how old each part is on the evolutionary timescale. You might actually learn something eg. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amygdala

The video i linked is also a good starting point.

I thought that was DimPrawn initially.

Relative poverty has a habit of doing that to people.

There is an ancient circuit in the back of our brains, and also in animals, that is constantly comparing our status to others in our peer group. And when it finds us lacking it makes us feel depressed. And when we are doing well it does the opposite.

solution is quite simple, you have to pick up yourself by the bootstraps and:

You definitely seem to be stuck in depression fella.

I am an immigrant as well, the worst kind: East European.
So if you can mentally imagine that hierarchy, I am somewhere a few levels underneath it.



To be frank I struggle with the idea myself although looking at the '5 stages of grief' not quite sure what is better:
to be stuck at first - denial or 4th depression.

You definitely seem to be stuck in depression fella. You really should think about getting some help as you seem obsessed by all this. It's not healthy.

You are low life tenant scum

I don't accept your premise.

Is the noble gentleman implying that he is not part of our cohort ?

You are not part of the upper rentier class (like many members here)

You are not even a home owner.

Poor people such as yourself normally like to find nicer labels.

So obviously what we need is another World War. Bring it on, I say, and then we an all be scooting about in cheap electric cars!

If you want to live in Z1 in a nice house, you need millions and you still need a job to pay the upkeep. Keeping your 100k car somewhere will cost more than many peoples' salaries

[d000hg]

Did I say anything different? 100k per year is a bit better than the average person but still poor. 1mil in the back is good but still poor as you will still have to sell your time to someone else for the rest of your life.
Rich is few mills in the bank, the lifestyle, and being able to live without selling your time. In my book if you have to see your time to someone else, you are poor.
