several decades ago, as an extremely sheltered middle-class teenager, i actually once thought like this... then i got out of my bubble and lived a little and worked a lot and felt/saw a tiny, almost infintesmal fraction of the crushing misery they have known all their lives and i woke the fuck up

thats what living a narrow sheltered life will do to you: you have zero concept that the system can and will do it to you given the chance; people like this have no concept how fickle life can be
