Like, since being converted to communism, and even before, when I read the banksy quote about how advertising has no right to be there in the first place. It's astounding just how often money is tied into the human experience. We bring it up all the damn time, about what's a smart way to spend money, what's a not-smart way, "a fool and his money are soon parted," there's sayings about it. It's just kinda depressing. Like, before I got converted, I remember, I would dream about all the cars I would buy if I won the lottery. How I wouldn't be "dumb" like those other lottery winners and "waste it" on stupid stuff. I don't know. Just stream-of-consciousness writing at this point.
My parents think I deserve to suffer more than what they already put me through. My father who I don’t speak to me always told me how important it was for me to go through hardship. Had plenary of money to make sure I was taken care of, but then how would I learn any “lessons” in life. Right before I was supposed to go to college they both got rid of the language in the parenting plan that said they had to both pay 50% of my tuition.
I do struggle with saving money and for a while I was spending it all on weed. One of the big reasons I quit which was overall good for me.
The bourgeoisie use the discussion of money to keep the proletariat lusting after them. The moment you turn the conversation into disdain or questioning motives they pull the rug out and make you feel like a bitter loser for not wanting to be them. And in the U.S. the workers falls for it all the time. That’s why they don’t ask each other how much they make or if they do the conversation gets awkward quickly.
im sorry but what thef uck is a parenting plan? like a contract?
When your parents are separated and go to court for legal custody a contract of the rules for custody are agreed upon by the parents and the court.
ahh gotcha
hope everything works out
Life keeps moving along. I’m still very privileged and I appreciate everything I have. More of an example of how capitalism corrupts what’s important and what people value.
