Like they're so shamelessly blatant about who their reader base is nowadays I just can't

    Almost impossible, some sort of base super structure theory going on here?

    Anyways I kind of did that except I didn't penny pinch, just tried to min max financial strategies (credit cards, options trading, interest rates, etc.) but like, maybe 60% of the extent of what FIRE guys do. Still way more than the average person

    And tbh, yea, I did end up becoming somebody who's weird with money and wealth despite intellectually being radicalized and now I'm still trying to unlearn all of that

    I was never reactionary or a neoliberal even before radicalization, I was just thinking about money far too much
