Have you ever experienced real poverty in your life?
>>517681211I slept on the concrete floor of a 2br apt for years because my family of 5 was living in it. There was wall to wall carpet over top of the concrete, but rather than providing cushion, it simply trapped germs and debris. I would get "the floor flu" as I would call it every few weeks. It hurt to breathe, more than the usual breathing pain caused by my ribs being compressed by concrete 8 hours a day.
>>517681211I was literally homeless and ate dumpster pizza at one point
nope, never really been in debtfreaky to think that being in debt is so normal for millions if not billions of people
>>517681211Being poor and being raised by psychopaths are two different things.
What are you talking bout nigga I'm huffing gasoline rn high as a muvfuckaaaaaa
>>517681646Same, bro.
We were so poor my dad used to punch guys so hard they turned into doors.
>>517681646Me too
>>517681773Hot carl never tasted so good
>>517681211After a burnout, accompanied by a nervous breakdown and a death in the family, I had such a period. Thank God I don't live in the USA....
I never had a single cent of debt but I'm still broke all the time
>>517681211We had to flush out toilet with our bathwater for a few years because water and septic issues that were too expensive to fixOld farmhouse with hand dug well and septic type shitLots of refried beans and rice dinnersSingle parent of 3 kids, no child support or food stamps for some reason
>>517681676Lucky you. My parents opened credit cards in my name when they couldn't get more credit, which put me over $20,000 in high interest debt before I hit age 20.
>>517681211what does a cop getting angry have to do with poverty?
I had trailer trash friends while I grew up in a nice stable middle class home. They basically ran free doing all kinda of shit because their parents didn't care at all while mine kept me under control, knew where I was at all times, ect...They loved coming to my house because they could eat all they wanted and I had the latest video games while I love going over there to basically run wild and free like I never could at home. Eventually it came to a head when in 9th grade one of them got ahold of some weed and we got light buzzed (there wasn't enough to get high) and of course my mom smelled it and freaked out. Complete and total lockdown, loss of all privileges, never allowed back over there again. His mom simply didn't give a fuck.
>>517681211I had to stop associating with the friends i grew up with because i stupidly told them about my crypto/stock gains and and half of them basically had mental breakdowns about how unfair it wasone of them even tried to set me up to be robbed crab bucket/tall poppy syndrome is common amongst the poor
>>517681854Do you think being treated like human trash drives you to places like this? I know the experience isn't common with normal people but it seems to be more common in places like this shit hole.
>>517681211>got angry and shot up a wall???
>>517681569>I slept on the concrete floorI have a bed and still feel compelled to do this half the time. Cushions are kinda gay. Just two carpets, a pillow and blanket.It's clean tho.
It wasn't until I was 21 yo that I learned that people don't rent only when they go on vacationThat many 16 years old workThat working isn't a hobby people can choose or not choose to do
>>517682070>what does a cop getting angry have to do with poverty?poor people make bad decisions.it was not actually the wall that was being shot, it was molyneux's foot.by himself.
i'm a fatass so i definitely have not experienced the truest poverty
I was poor growing upDad used to beat the shit out of mum every day, he was a war vet who saw a lot of action and blamed ptsd but he was an alcoholic scumbagMum took off with us kids one day and raised us by herself.She'd walk 15 klm every night to a bakery and green grocer who would give her the leftover bread and vegetables/fruit.Never had a new pair of shoes or school uniform or even regular clothes.Porridge every day for breakfast but she sacrificed everything to make sure we ate and had clothes/books for school etcA lot of single mums get hate on here but rarely are scumbag fathers mentioned.
>>517681211You're not "poor", you're being quarantined for choosing to be less adaptable to society. If you say you're "poor" you admit that you have no life skills to speak of, no motivation to gain any and you have nothing to offer society as is. Can you blame anyone else but yourself for such failings?>Inb4 "the man is holding me down"You only have the rights you put effort in to keep. Don't blame others for your lack of effort.
>>517681211One time, my card got declined for a first class flight. Had to call my dad to pay for me by which time the last first class seat had sold. Had to fly business class with the peasants. Disgusting.
>>517681211Poverty in America does not exist
>>517682147>Do you think being treated like human trash drives you to places like this?I do. I'm from a split family, meaning my two oldest siblings made it to adulthood before my parents went broke. They had cars as soon as they could drive, school was paid, jobs lined up for them when they got out. They're totally bluepilled vaxxies who repeat all the stupid shit they are told on TV.My younger brother and I went through financial hell. We're now both debt free, stack cash and bullion, and don't trust the fucking government at all.Our parents were completely mindbroken by financial ruin. Dad worked himself to death and died one morning in his easy chair after a long shift. Mom mostly sits alone, talking to his ashes in his urn.
>>517681211I grew up middle class but things went downhill and I worked shitty jobs for a while. I didnt struggle for food and shelter but I couldn't afford to do anything fun for about 5 years.When I went to prison, that was a fucking eye opener, I know what scum of the earth is like.I'm doing much better now.
I was raised by a welfare-dependent single mother with substance abuse issues. I dug myself out by joining the army and going to college on the GI Bill after she kicked me out of the house since that meant the end of her benefits once I turned 18.I've had a relatively normal middle-class life since college ended, but it's been impossible to trust women, so my relationships tend to end after a few years.
>>517681211I don't make bad decisions.>I don't anger everyone to the point they tell me to leave forever and never come back>I don't ingest chemicals to a deadly point that ruins my health and finances>I don't waste my finances on everything childishly possible on instinct.>I don't fritter away time on things that don't make me happy because I try to force success in my life>I don't pretend I'm successful with wealth I don't have>I don't have a credit card. I don't use money I never had or was capable of getting in the first place.>If I do end up in a bad situation I immediately go into repair mode to try and fix it rather than "well this is life now. Time to eat garbage out of the dumpster and beg for money". I take full advantage of a christian homeless shelter, I don't have to believe in whats spoken about at those places because I just need a cot and 2 hots til I get back on track.It's almost like the words "personal responsibility" plays a key part in my life. Something redditors don't have.
>>517681707>raised by psychopathsI was raised by narcissists. I seem normal but I'm kinda broken.
>>517682285You've never drank a bottle of hard liquor and go full auto ?
>>517681960Just yesterday a pepperoni was 5 dollars and rent was affordable. I just want to die.
>>517681211I'm white and I don't give a fuck about you and your nigger problems
>>517682112Real friends don't call each other trashFuck you silverspoon
>>517681211Yes. I came from a former Soviet shithole and we didn't have anything in those years. I remember having to stand in line as a little kid with my grandmother for our bread ration from the back of a military truck. I didn't even see chocolate from 86 to 89.I also went crazy for a few years after a death in my family and spent quite a few months living on the street, sleeping in parks or under bridges during the day and wandering around the city looking for flights at night because I wanted to die. I got in so many fights and have so many scars on my face because of it.Now I live a max-comfy lifestyle and want for nothing all thanks to the amazing people in my life who in spite of knowing what a piece of shit I've been my entire life are willing to help me and let me benefit from their success. I'm am truly blessed and privileged. I thank god every day and am eternally grateful. I should be dead by all accounts but somehow I'm still here. Amazing.
>>517683156>I don't have demonic parents that fucked up my head so I become a mental broken mess.
>>517681211spent a year as a hobo living on the street and in a hobo shelter. good times.
>>517682883>Mom mostly sits alone, talking to his ashes in his urn.I'm sorry fren :(
>>517681211I was so poor that my dad only had an Audi instead of a Mercedes :(
>>517681569>I slept on the concrete floor of a 2br apt for yearsA couple of nights I can understand but even animals are smart enough to make themselves a bed to lay in. I recently found a mouse nest in a box in my garage, fashioned from torn bits of cardboard and pink insulation.>>517682826If poverty does exist in America, it is only because people are too stupid to care for themselves and are enabled by others, mostly by the state.
>>517681211When my parents immigrated here, they made the stupid decision to have me despite having no financial strength The apartment we lived in was filled with roaches and the public school was fucking horrible. A guy in 7th grade got stabbed to death for example, etcI obviously didn’t have a good time, also I was barely fed so dudes would bully me a lot and some girls would too. Poor self esteem, etc. It was bad man. My dad was very smart but couldn’t control his emotions so he’d get mad all the time too, which absolutely did not help. Anyways, sob story aside, my dad got better and invested well, worked shit tons of jobs while I did too. We grinded hard and saved money and now we live better than most people here do. They made up for all the stupidest things they did in the past. Whenever I have kids they’ll likely be able to go to private school and be engaged in lots of hobbies and sports
>>517681211I knew when the government commodity boxes were delivered to the indians and would do chores for them for cheese sandwiches
le "not an argument" manI thought he died
>>517681211Being poor means you have to prioritize your money. Major expenses come first, then other shit like necessities. Then whatever's left you still need to spend wisely. Small things others take for granted mean a lot to us, like being able to take a shower and not be ankle deep in water cause you can't afford liquid plumber, because you had to buy duct tape to fix shit with.
>>517681211I wore sweatpants and a tshirt for 15 years.
>>517682688I fix everything with duct tape. I am poor.
>>517683156>I don't make bad decisions.>posts on /pol/grim
>>517681211I lived in a trailer in southern Iowa with no electricity in the early 90’s during the farm crisis. We had a wood stove and oil lamps. My dad would poach a turkey, pheasant, quail of go fish so we had some meat. Don’t fucking globohomo jew bullshit us about what real poverty is nigger
>>517681211As a child I was totally poor. I had to beg my parents for everything.
>>517681211I do. It's hell here.
>>517681211I haven't experienced real poverty, just small poverty. I've always had a roof over my head, lights on, and 1 meal a day at least. But I've never known what it's like to have savings, every paycheck is always spent to survive. The poorest I've ever been was when family had no money for Christmas, had to rely on community donations. Growing up I was the kid in class who wore sizes too small because my parents couldn't afford the latest clothes. I'm the bottom rung of working class.
yeah I was poor, voted left because I needed to rely on welfare programs, now that I'm upper-middle class, I'm more right leaning so I don't have to pay taxes (most I've paid was $92K?) its honestly really bad for people in the upper middle-class in terms of tax paying, once you hit the 6-7 digit income, you can easily avoid taxes
>>517681211Do we have to pay him one dollar ($1) for him to expound on what boozed ex cops blasting walls has to do with REAL POVERTY(tm)
>>517681211We were homeless living in campgrounds back in the 80s when dad was chasing the work. We spent an entire summer moving from campground to campground. My sister and I didnt know at the time. It was just a summer of adventure and doing ypepo shit in the woods. It was incredibly based, actually.
>>517681211Still am in poverty. I remember being a little kid and going to McDonalds or something was very rare, and when we did my mom never ordered anything, just watched me eat cause she 'wasn't hungry'. We were just that broke. No child support (she never pursued it) no dad.
>>517685375They probably put pieces of duct tape over the bullet holes.
>>517685643where was your mother?
>>517681211yes. I dated a negress once.she lived with her single mom, had some mentally unstable sister and her apartment was like 80F inside because they have no thermostat to control heating, so they just opened windows to the outside. they rarely cook and just eat out all the time.also, low iq. shit's nuts IMO. I can't believe people live like that.
>>517681211Yes all my life. I lived off of 3k Canadian a year, ate out of dumpsters, ended up on the streets in 2017, now I'm on ODSP and live off of 12k a year and it's a huge improvement for me. All the people who have normal lives and jobs are mindblowingly rich to me and yet complain all the time about how poor they are yet they can own a car, own a pet, etc.
>>517685643>>517685891My moms family did a similar 'hehe we're just camping kids' thing in the 60s. She also remembers it being fun lol
>>517685983she was probably a hippie and a whore, responsible for ruining the current generation we have today
>>517681211I am right now. Thanks for asking, faggot.
>>517685891Sounds like you had a good mother, who put you first before herself like the way it should be.
>>517684176Congrats.
>>517685067You are Russian. All your suffering is self-inflicted. "If you could harvest regret Russia would be the breadbasket of the world."
I've been living off almost exclusively gibs since 2017. With Social security and food stamps, I receive 17k a year collectively. I'd work the odd job here and there a few times throughout that if I needed money and then ghost them when I had enough of working with insufferable cunts which seems to be the majority of working class USA. You'd think that's abject poverty, and it is but I got a comfy setup in my apt currently.If I got an extra 10k or so in gibs, I'd be living like a king which is funny considering the state of this country and cunts crying about how their six figure job isn't enough anymore.
>>517682117It's great you cut them out, there was a streamer i used to watch who confessed that when he 'made it big' his roommates and friends got so jealous they basically bullied him into paying everyones rent because he was so rich/lucky and he did it for 3 years. Made me lose respect for him parasites need to be simply walked away from.
>>517686140Yep. And she's finally retired now, I wish I inherited her work ethic and stoicism.
>>517681211spring 1994, i was 13. field trip on a friday, got home late and since my mom was a whore, she picked me up at 11pm from school, took me home, dropped me off and went back to the bars/clubs. i go to bed, about midnight or 12:30am i see a shadow creeping around outside where nobody should be, check it out and it's my adult neighbor from behind me (i'm in a trailer, he's in a trailer, nobody else around for miles). we already knew he was weird, every time it was me and my younger bro/sis he had a reason to interact with us but never when our mom was around. my dad was living across the county and didn't have custody so he's not around. i tell him that i'm tired and can't open the door, he said we can meet on the back porch if i don't wanna get in trouble so i finally tell im i know he's a faggot and if he doesn't leave he's gonna get hurt. he leaves, comes back at 1am and tries the same shit, starts trying to open the front door so i get my mom's .357 and after telling him to fuck off again, just shoot him twice through the trailer door and he goes down, crawls off the porch and dies halfway from my porch to his own. i didn't know who to call, didn't wanna call 911 yet, so called a family friend who was a 6'6" 400lb bouncer and he kinda helped me deal with cops. think my mom finally came home and beat the pedo's corpse with a tire iron so people didn't talk shit about why a 13 year old was home alone on bum fuck mountain. anyway, had to go to therapy for 6 months, no charges, they were concerned i was a psychopath because i didn't care te pedophile was dead or didn't feel bad because i shot him but i was fine, slept like a baby after teh cops left. that's about ithow many rich kids get to merc a pedo at 13.
>>517686109>>517685930Kek broken by lack of pussy. Sad! Many such cases.
>>517681960hate jew features, so gross
>>517686782you literally replied to yourself and gave the story of a typical boomer talking about his parents being hippies and whores, dumbass
>>517682825Damn I feel that brother
>>517682112I had a combination of both. My parents gave a shit about raising me right(not letting me cuss, not having alcohol or tobacco in the house, making sure they knew where I was, made sure I knew how to swim, etc) but also gave me a lot of freedom and let me spend a lot of time out of the house by myself. My dad didn't give a shit when me and my friends got caught smoking weed by their parents because he knew weed wasn't a big deal. He smoked weed himself but he was responsible enough to leave the house and go somewhere else when he did. I got the best of both worlds with my parents, they actually cared about raising me but didn't project their own traumas and complexes onto me in lieu of what benefited me as a person and they weren't retarded NPCs like most parents.
>>517686893>u replied to urself>that means ur moms a whore >doesn't refute no pussy claimKek, retarded ass incel, you could have just lied and said you'd had sex.
>>517681211Yes we only had money for basic necessities like food, rent and utilities a luxury was a $1 item for Christmas I got $20 worth of cheap $1 and $2 presents that was the entire amount my mother could save over the course of a year but being poor is excellent at making you a fighter in both the literal and figurative sense it's why so many Whites are bitches they're afflicted by affluence
>>517687587Poor people are resourceful. We keep shit like plastic containers to reuse that others would toss out.
>>517682688chat is this pic real? I want it to be real.
>>517686764Whore as a mother and dealing with pedos, your childhood was a nightmare, how are you doing today?
I went bankrupt, had my utilities cut, ate the cheapest thing I could find, lowest i sunk was I squeezed tocacco from previously smoked cigarettes someone else put out to roll my own. I was a few million euros in debt at 25.But - I tried again, succeeded, retired at 35. I'll never have to work again, nor will my wife or children.Being incredibly poor for awhile helped me in many ways, I don't waste money, millionaire with a €99 10 year old motorola phone, screen cracked 5 years ago but it still works. My car is pushing 10 years too.Best thing about going bankrupt and becoming poor was my fiancee at the time left. I met my wife while poor. This girl believed in me and when my utilities were cut, she did not complain, she said lets fuck, it will keep us warm. So I put a bunch of babies in her and I'll spoil her as long as we live.
>>517681211What does that libtard story have to do with being poor?
>>517688157>Best thing about going bankrupt and becoming poor was my fiancee at the time left. I met my wife while poor. This girl believed in me and when my utilities were cut, she did not complain, she said lets fuck, it will keep us warm. So I put a bunch of babies in her and I'll spoil her as long as we live.Based and enviable if true.
>>517681211We weren’t poverty poor, but I had bad parents. They sold our blue collar home, then didn’t have anywhere to move, so my brother and I were sharing a pullout couch in one of my mom’s friends basements for 6 months…when I was about 13. So I just left and lived at my best friend’s house for the next few years. My parents didn’t seem to care. any anons have parents that just didn’t give a fuck if you lived or died? I’m sorry for you, bros. I feel your pain.
One time my father wasn't able to afford getting me a new M5 BMW, had to settle for a new M3. Never act like I don't understand struggle.
>>517683227I’m sorry for you, brother. My shitty single mom was like that too.
>>517681211Sure as hell did. I had less than 60 bucks a month for a few years, had a cat and always looked out that he ate enough and i went collecting cans to buy some essentials meanwhile. Also no warm water/heater for over 6 months, no electricity for 2.
>>517681211I was working and contributing to the household since I was 6 years old. Not out of the ordinary for the Irish historically but growing up in the 90s it wasn't as expected. We weren't destitute or anything but I remember for about the first 12ish years of my life I knew what day it was by what we had for dinner because everything was budgeted so tightly. All clothes were hand me downs. We only got things on birthdays/Christmas. Again, not like it was the hardest life or anything but I know from stories/interactions with others it was vastly different way to grow up in Midwest suburbia than my counterparts had
>>517685930>where was your mother?She stayed with us and picked blackberries and shit to make deserts on the Weber. We churned homemade ice cream, and she even baked cakes on the BBQ. We had blackberry ice cream and cake with blackberry buttercream frosting. At night she read Steven King novels to us. Misery was one of them.
>>517688354>My parents didn’t seem to care. any anons have parents that just didn’t give a fuck if you lived or died? I’m sorry for you, bros. I feel your pain.Yep. Mom is a hoarder and alcoholic, just mean and nasty most of the time. I rarely have anything to do with her. She works but everyone there hates her and cuts her hours on purpose. It sucks when you have a shit family, especially a shit mother.
>>517688354>My parents didn’t seem to care.In 1932, when Charles Lindbergh's child was kidnapped and later found dead, parents offered their own child as compensation.They wanted to give away their own child.We have lived in a dark age for thousands of years, but that is now changing.
>>517688354>any anons have parents that just didn’t give a fuck if you lived or died? I’m sorry for you, bros. I feel your pain.Relatable. Cheers anon, wherever you are.
>>517681211>Have you ever experienced real poverty in your life?Born white trash, grew up on food stamps for a large part of my childhood. Father was worthless... couldn't keep a job, had no career prosepects. Mom would work whatever shitty menial jobs she could. Crappy hand-me-down clothes, only kid in class who got the free lunch (back when they'd all line up single-file to pay for it with quarters, so everyone knew). God it was awful.But somehow, didn't turn me into a commie. I didn't want more of what they "gave" me. Who'd want that (but for everyone?!). Not only that, I learned how grudgingly the welfare was given too. I'd rather starve than accept welfare again.Anyone who wants welfare has something wrong with them so broken it can't ever be fixed. Look down upon them, they've earned it.
>>517688791To add: dad nearly made us homeless due to him spending shit on credit while my mother didnt have a clue, only when it was nearly too late. Divorced him, had to take a giant loan and worked 2 jobs while having 2 kids. Sister got sent to grandparents and i had to look after myself most of the days. Didnt want to bother her with my shit on top so i kept to myself, got addicted and fucked up my life
>>517688905>Anyone who wants welfare has something wrong with them so broken it can't ever be fixed.Guess why Germany was the most innovative and strongest developing power, because we had a social system that cared for everyone.That's why you're allowed to fly jets and play computer games these days, because those are inventions of National Socialism.
>>517688905idk man, i would support everyone getting welfare so we don't have to work, and a lot of it so we're rich toothe problem is that it's not feasible. understanding that it's not feasible is what makes a libertarian.
>all of /pol/ is poorExplains why this board is such shitIt's a choice, really, or a state of mind.You choose to spend countless hours consuming junk food and pornography, and wonder why your life is shit.The rich don't do that, the rich sacrificed the present for the future. They got the ball rolling early, while most poor people are content to wallow in their own misery.Lifting yourself out of poverty requires effort, but sadly most of the poor simply don't have the genetic material to help them succeed.That's probably the one thing the Indians got right; they understand that at a fundamental level, there are simply too many faults, and you need to have a caste of permanently impoverished that you don't waste resources on.
>>517688334Gave my fiancee a car for her 18th birthday, barely said thank you. My wife, I proposed to her with a picture of a ring because I couldn't afford one. Said yes.10 years later im on top of the world and the golddigger got divorced for the 3rd time. She has no kids either, pushing 40. Shes likely going to be eaten by cats in 35-40 years.
>>517689330>The rich don't do that, the rich sacrificed the present for the future.kek, they sacrificing their sovl for money, because they give a shit about others.
>>517681211what does the thing he says at the bottom have to do with being poor??
>>517688791>>517689153I’m doing alright these days anon. I have a stable job, although I never seem to maintain a relationship for more than a year or two. I’ve also struggled with addiction (I’m a 15 year alcoholic and I’ve done more cocaine than Pablo Escobar.) it’s an effective coping mechanism, but I try to remind myself that I need to be working on the root cause of the pain…which is usually isolation and loneliness. I’ve found that trusting people is hard, but I’ve leaned on my friends in recent years and they’ve all been surprisingly understanding and kind. Wagmi.
>>517689330>The rich don't do that, the rich sacrificed the present for the futureFor a future of low IQ browns working every job while Whites die from poverty?
>>517682452
>>517689330he is talking about growing up poor, not being poor
>>517689330Life is a quick, impermanent affair. If you want to choose to chase the affairs of the material world immensely go for it.My state of mind is you choose to chase away a majority of your time for shiny things you won't give a fuck about or anyone else once you pass besides your immediate surviving family who will fight over and gobble it up like hyenas over a carcass.I'd rather be poor and have 100% of my time be free time dedicated to the affairs that interest me.
>>517689820Do you still struggle with addiction and want help?
>>517689506Au contraire, the rich by their very nature cannot help but be positive influences on everyone in their lives.Where rich people congregate, progress soon follows.They create not just wealth for themselves, but for everyone around them.Just ask yourself this: would you rather live in an impoverished shithole, or a nation of millionaires? >>517689844>>517689938But if you're poor and unable to change, the fault is yours. >>517689977If 100% of your time is free to spend on inane frivolities, then you're a leach, which the rich around you allow you to be.
>>517689330>the rich sacrificed the present for the future No, retard. They sacrificed your future for their present. They sold out you, your children and your grandchildren, so they could have present-day hedonistic pleasure. Hang yourself with your bootstraps, you lead-based paint eating nigger.
>>517690149>But if you're poor and unable to change, the fault is yours.Then it's your fault for using your money to bring in worthless niggers. If there are no jobs how do you expect people to change?
>>517690157>rich people sold me outRich people have indirectly provided me with a most comfortable way of life.Their taxes pay for literally everything.
>>517689820>WagmiMy thoughts exactly, take care anon and keep your head held high. Clean since 09, no friends left but got a fiancee. Others would've an hero and yet here we are, still fighting the daily war that is existance. Alles gute, Kamerad!
>>517690359>no jobsAlready with the excuses. A person with the right mindset would take the challenge by the horns and see it as an opportunity. There are zero scenarios where remaining poor isn't either a choice you made or a genetic fault.
>>517690366Unless you live surrounded by niggers then shut the fuck up, bloody cunt.
>>517690112I’m managing it. I was much better five years ago, but the pandemic made me realize that the people around me are foolish and selfish, that they would celebrate my death, as the way I think is a threat to their insular herd. I’ve regressed to some of my old, bad habits, but I have an actionable plan to leave my environment next year and I have friends who are aware and helping me. It was difficult to ask for help, but they have been amazing. So, thank you, but I think I’m on a solid path forward.
>>517690149>Au contraire, the rich by their very nature cannot help but be positive influences on everyone in their lives.>Where rich people congregate, progress soon follows.>They create not just wealth for themselves, but for everyone around them.>Just ask yourself this: would you rather live in an impoverished shithole, or a nation of millionaires?What kind of fairy tale are you living in?Money influences our character, and a lot of it completely ruins it.Money is a means to an end, not for enrichment. Anyone who has too much money steals from others.The best example is the lottery system.
>>517681211No, but my wife grew up poor. She remembers her mom buying groceries with food stamps and being so embarrassed, she vowed she’s never be that broke as an adult.We did well in biz, and she never struggled with money again.

>>517681211I don’t really think so, and I was “homeless” (in an extended stay hotel) for like two years because of Covid.Poverty might just be a state of mind. Do you think hunter gatherers experienced poverty? Hard for me to imagine.
>>517681211No, I hate poor people.
>>517690410Sieg heil, brother.
>>517690559>but I have an actionable plan to leave my environmentThe harsh truth is that you're just trying to escape, just like you are with drugs. It won't help, but you can do something right now: fight it. But you don't know exactly how. Do you want to know how you can fight it right now?
I was laidoff and homeless one winter and only had saltines with peanut butter to eat, once spring came around I went back to construction. That was a not fun winter.
>>517689208>Guess why Germany was the most innovative and strongest developing power, because we had a social system that cared for everyoneCommie/Democrat welfare doesn't care for *anyone*. It does so out of some sort of obligation that it very much wishes it could get out of... and it does, whenever a loophole appears, the Democrats are the very first to take advantage. It's like they're left having to feed the vote livestock while the farmer's away, and they know they'll be beat if he comes back and the tax cattle have starved.I'm open to the idea that maybe it was different in Germany, but you must admit that the German welfare of today is a far different beast. Now it just pays to import foreigners and burden real German's with the cost of their welfare.
>>517690366The middle class pays for the vast majority of everything. And short-sighted rich faggots have eroded the middle class for their own decadence. You are wrong. And you’re either ignorant or you’re lying.
>>517681211We always had been poor but I remember a month were we would eat rice soup for a month because the landlord fucked my parents over and we couldn’t afford groceries. I remember mom would stand in the kitchen and boil just hot water with some left over soup cubes for taste and rice. We have been eating that for the whole month. Breakfast was only break and butter
>>517681211Molytard won't sympathy bait me. Coming from poverty is a bad thing.
>>517690149I spend it working out, fucking my fertile beautiful girlfriend, reading classic literature of the past centuries, learning how to code vidya currently too.I'll continue doing these things till my older years. I'm going to look fucking nice and jacked in my coffin. Maybe your family can spend your hard earned money on a Louis Vuitton suit once your time comes so your fabulous wealth can stretch a little further and have a bit more use.
My family was pretty well off until the 2009 crash. My dad lost his factory job and we lost our house. Ended up moving into my great grandparent's old house which was like 600 sqft and right in between a probation office and the projects. Shit sucked. We had these fucking drugged out niggers trying to break in constantly and they'd usually try to get in through my window. I told my grandpa about it and he gave me his old revolver to keep under my pillow. Took me to the range a few times to make sure I knew how to use it. Definitely made me feel a lot better.
>>517681211No. git gud
>>517683156Same except I don’t really put effort into being successful, and I use a credit card for the convenience (always paid immediately).If you don’t care about success and have a three digit IQ, life is embarassingly easy
>>517691019>but you must admit that the German welfare of today is a far different beastYes, since 1945, but the core has remained, even though they're making it difficult for us today and trying to avoid it.But the point is, when a nation works together, it reaches the highest potential.
>>517690535>>517690659Ah yes, always someone else's fault.>>517690590>too much moneyOnly someone without imagination could think this. And then you're truly poor, when even your soul is lacking.>>517691035>muh middle classThey are where they are, thanks to the upper class, who provides them with everything they need to stay content.>>517691135I spend my free time not starving or begging for scraps, because the society I live in forces rich people to subsidize my standards of livingYour welcome.>Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.As is written, the rich cannot help themselves. They're living closer to God than you might think, and they reap the rewards, as their divine right.We could very easily fix the state of the world, if we simply reverted to a form of governance were those who had or knew how to acquire, were given the reigns in perpetuity, and allowed to steer the world towards a future of their choosing.The poor would have to become productive, and the rich would, as the best of us, naturally elevate humanity as a whole.
>>517690911Checked. No, I actually live in a city full of niggers, spics, kikes, chinks and shitskins. I used to have a good life here, in an all-White area, until they were forced into my neighborhood. Now, my local churches, coffee shops, grocery stores, schools, and parks are majority non-white. My work is hard to transition, and I am stubborn, so I waited too long to leave…which is why I have turned to old, bad habits. But I’m moving next year to a community where I have friends and is homogenous. It’s literally multiculturalism that has broken my community. The bad habits are mine, but the pressure is environmental. Thank you for your concern, however, anon.

>>517681569>I would get "the floor flu"Oh shit I've been sleeping on carpet for a few months and I've been feeling some strange allergy the last few days. I'll keep this in mind and try to sweep and throw down more blankets. I'm definitely turbo poor right now, but the main reason I don't have a bed is because I wanted more space in my tiny room, and the floor feels good on my back anyway.
>>517691482>Ah yes, always someone else's faultI didn't bring the niggers into my country, kikes and richfags did.
>>517691482>And then you're truly poor, when even your soul is lacking.Interestingly, we only had 5 euros to spare at the end of last month, yet we can call ourselves the richest man in the world. Guess why?
>>517681211I spent 4 months in West Africa and concluded not only do American poors have nothing to complain about but also that Africans, like the non white homeless here in the US, deserve what they get and that not all peoples and cultures deserve to exist

>>517683227>mom would threaten to kill herself every time I didn't do what she wantedI think that broke something which cannot be repaired. Even now that I take a distant view on it, without any emotions, I can still see the damage it caused which never went away.
>>517691319similar story. in 2008 my parents lost everything. dad lost his job, mom got her hours cut, and their mortgage was blown up. still dont know all the mortgage details, they probably were one of the underwater ARMs. went from lower middle class in a shit tier US city to bouncing around sublet apartments in bad parts of town. eventually they got their shit together but i was one of the kids getting free breakfast at school everyday.
>>517691578It makes sense. Your genetic pool has been diluted throughout the centuries, and is now an amalgamated mass of assorted dysgenic freaks. All those of high genetic worth naturally have an upwards trajectory. >>517691770Poorfag cope? Pretty standard stuff, like "money can't buy you happiness".
>>517681646>I was literally homeless and ate dumpster pizza at one pointShit man, same.
>>517681211It's all relative innit, for a while when I was 4 to 6 or 7 year old we lived my mom, dad and sister in a one room office space, like a large cubicle, with a communal bathroom, shower and one washing mashine in a public restroom for the whole floor of offices. We never went hungry tho, both parent's were sober, dad was working and we had a black and white TV and some books, so it was actually not a real poverty. I suppose real poverty is when you don't know where your next meal will come from or if it will at all.
It's always eye opening how many current and former homeless people are on /pol/
>>517681211yes, but only because of gambling my money away I needed for utlities and food

>>517692366Post nudes of sister.
>>517681676Debt is kind of the opposite of poverty.I was so broke because I didn't even know I could get credit. I just didn't have any money and that was that.No food, no rent, no phone bill, no electric bill. I was just days away from getting evicted but I self-deported and started living in my car. But then had no money for gas, nothing.I had no clue what to do, and I was utterly unprepared for adulthood at the time.I have seen photos of myself at the time and I was rail thin. I had no idea what to do. I was simply starving and lost. It was the worst.
>>517692345It's not about happiness as a state, but the freedom to pursue it however you see fit.The more money, the more options, the more freedom, the more happiness.Of course, with more options you need the capacity to actually embrace exponential growth. It's not enough to simply acquire more, you need to acquire more at faster rate, increasing your yield every time.That is true bliss.

>>517681211No one who has lived their entire life in the US has ever experienced true poverty. Even our homeless live like kings compared to the poorest citizens of the deepest darkest African shithole.
>>517681211This is true, for ex. white British people are seen as misunderstood simple folk but anyone who's lived around them can tell you that they're all scum. Permanently aggrieved, violent, petty, stupid; their women all fuck shitskins while the men are all cucks until they have an acceptable target (other whites, including continental Europeans, Americans). Genuinely the Victorians were right about poor people. This is the next pill after Islam being right about women.
If you are from the US or in Western Europe then no you have never experienced poverty
>>517683126>Food stampsGod damn that takes me back. I had to use those to get food for my family because my mom was drugged out and didn't care. My mom never graduated high school, never owned a car used let alone new, and only worked maybe 8 months in her whole life. Had she not died I probably would have been an inmate at some prison.
>>517692618>It's not about happiness as a state, but the freedom to pursue it however you see fit.That's exactly why you can't be content, because you think that this state of being a carefree child is no longer achievable without having a ton of money, and even then, you can't achieve it because you need more money.Happiness does not require dependency.
>>517693046>Permanently aggrieved, violent, petty, stupid; their women all fuck shitskins while the men are all cucks until they have an acceptable targeti grew up in a lower class town and i concur
>>517682598and then everybody clapped
>>517692757Why? Because poverty is bad?Nah man! The poor deserve it! They should pull themselves up by their bootstraps! Why give them good living conditions when we can just screw them over?Just kidding. I would love it if there were no poor people, but the problem is, communism, or any "alternative" to the free market, does not work and creates a lot more poverty.
>>517682598that's a good story for reddit kekbut seriously though, if that's true i feel for you. im glad she cared for you at least.
Being poor as a kid will do one of two things to you; Either you grow up putting yourself in a position where you never be poor again and you grind hard setting yourself up for life long success. Or you end up in jail after sleeping on the streets.
>>517681211>Have you ever experienced real poverty in your life?No.I know what it'd be like though because I'm not fucking retarded. I know shit isn't easy for people even though I haven't had to deal with it because I literally work in financing.I know how it must feel like to be suppressed by being a rentoid working on minimum wage.I know how it feels like to need to budget every single day without skipping a beat.I know how tiring it can be to live on sub-optimal food sustenance and sleep.I know how easy it is to get addicted to the chemicals you get from supplementary dietary suppositories.I know how people depend on certain drugs like caffeine and melatonin just to function, and how it subsequently ravages them if they can't keep it up.You would be a fucking FOOL to think that - because I haven't personally experienced it myself - I have no understanding of how it affects people who are.
>>517693942so basically white poor people vs black poor peopleor high IQ vs low IQ, because I guess not all white people do the former
>>517681211>lived with island niggers after hurricane inikiI still have a soft spot for chili mac MREs
Have lived in a car driven illegally without insurance because I couldn't afford it, water fasted Saturday to Monday to save money on food, found an accessible water tap at the back of some stops and stole a bucket to wash in, my entertainment was trying not to freeze to death.I wasn't eligible for any assistance from the government of course.

>>517694032Poor whites have extremely low IQs.
I was late 20s living on my own and falling behind every check 300-500. It didn’t matter what I cut, I simply couldn’t do it. The breaking point was when I was in front of a grocery store and my credit card had a balance of 10,450 and maxed out at 10500. I paid my last cash of 150 and my new limit changed to 10,300. They must have deemed me too risky. I had no money for about 5 days and very little food at home. I was tapped out and exhausted. I ended up moving back in with my parents and still paid rent since they are also bad with money but way less than an apartment. I worked two jobs. I bought nothing, the debt consumed my life. I had a goal to kill it and never feel that sadness I had in that grocery store parking lot. I paid off all the debt and kept going with 60+ hours. I saved 10k cash, never had that before. I hit 20k. Around 30k something changed, I no longer cared about money. It was there and nothing worried me anymore. I quit my second job and only worked 40 hours. I was less extreme but still somewhat frugal. I pay myself first then spend the rest.Currently have about 30k cash and 160k in stocks. Some in Roth but most in brokerage account. Now money really doesnt matter. I don’t have enough to be free and I don’t worry about it either. I bought a used car the other day for 18k and paid cash. Who even cares if I have 250k in stocks or 150k. I will still live the same. It’s freeing but at the same time I see the chains
>>517681211Nope, because my grandfather came from nothing and worked like a dog to make sure my dad had a better life than he did and my dad worked like a dog to make sure my siblings and I had a better life than he did.My dad has all sorts of stories about his co-workers who wasted their lives and lived like animals, whose children were raised on frozen dinners because their wives were as lazy as their husbands. Co-workers who mocked him for buying a home when he was young because he's gonna be paying a mortgage for years.Now I have a house and those co-worker's children have rental payments.
>>517694271Are you poor?
>>517681211I mean, I think you can always no true Scotsman this subject until you get to: "Literally was born in an alleyway and grew up homeless." and even then you could probably still keep going until you arrive at: "Well you didn't grow up as a starving Bushman in Africa" or something. That being said, they are correct. When I made minimum wage ($7.25) I only got $320 a paycheck for working 80 hours a day period. No one in politics can even conceive of that concept because they grew up millionaires. Ive actually met a millionaire before and told them that and they told me to my face I was lying and must yave had extra money somehow because "no one could actually live like that." Same millionaire, one time I told them about a buddy of mine who's car broke down and ended up having to quit his job and move back in with his Mom, get a different job within walking distance, and then save up for a new car before he could move out again and they looked at me as though I had just shown them Daisy's Destruction and said: "I... I didn't realize people had to go through stuff like that." Hitler had it right. National Socialism is the answer.
>>517681707Don't tell Reddit that
>>517694235Okay but have you considered that a king's intentions may not equal results?For example, a king with good intentions may make choices like this:something is too expensive -> make a law that it can't be sold at a high pricepeople are poor -> make more paper money and give it to themAnd it would never work. This is why communism is bad. I have zero doubt that communist leaders are actually trying to help people (well, not always).>>517694271Not if they're children because they have zero say in it

It's why they achieve everything they want, while the poor achieve nothing.I spent 10 minutes writing an obscenely long post about the pursuit of happiness and what wealth truly is, which turned into incoherent rambling, so I think I'm going to leave it here, and wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

>>517694503>something is too expensive -> make a law that it can't be sold at a high priceA good king would not allow money for trading goods. The money itself is the flaw in the system.
>>517681211Honestly everyone should be forced into poverty for at least a 6 month stint, maybe even return visits for those with a lot of regular resources. Going hungry does a man good as long as you can come out alive and not too battered.
>>517681211I spent a winter with minimal heating, wearing two sweaters and a coat indoors.I'm worth 3 million but I just refused to pay high rents. I ended up moving to a smaller town. Things are much better. I still don't heat the house enough, but nowhere near that winter.

>>517694890money is just a better version of barter, why not?because people are supposed to give things to each other for free? okay but that doesn't mean you have to outlaw money, they can still give things to their friends or to strangers to help, even give them money.

>>517695122Jesus.>>517695151>money is just a better version of barter, why not?Because you shouldn't count, the devil lies in the details.
>>517693825>communism, or any "alternative" to the free market, does not workThat's not necessarily true. Free market, as it is today, is a relatively new concept. People have lived differently before. And we know that technology has allowed us to improve everyone's living standards. Poor people existence is intentional.
>>517681211>Have you ever experienced real poverty in your life?Poverty is what happens when poor people do stupid crap.I have been poor my entire life.I still live better than most kings throughout history because I live in America, stay out of debt, and generally don't behave like a nigger.

My mom would also water down the 2% milk. I remember when I was a teenager I drank some milk and it was basically 80% water at that point, so i looked at my mom and poured it down the drain, I think at that point I started to steal food.

It’s an insane delusion with no basis in reality. Anyone in America can earn enough to get out of poverty if they are willing to show up on time, and move to wherever they are hiring.

>>517696199it really depends on the area. most white nation Kings only had like one or two concubines, half a dozen max (on top of whores and such) for the really wild ones. the chinks though had mini-cities for their harems.
>>517696199>not fucking 5-10 broads in rotationI mean the fact they didn't is why we have the Church of England.
Closet I got was making $12 an hour in Tacoma and renting a room in a house with 5 other people, evergreen college types. It was fine so long as I wasnt home except for the time one of the jobless fucks let their cat in my room anf it popped my air mattress. I legitimately considered moving into my Ford focus after that, but occasionally they'd cook dinner, vegan of course, and share it out to everyone.
>>517694308Hell yeah, good job
>>517692263not really, most schizos end up on the streets at some point
>>517682688>the millionth variation of "muh bootstraps"young white men have been stripped of most of their social capital and this is all you have in response?
>>517696191And yet richfags cry over having to do basic shit if their spic housemaids get deported. >wahhhhhhh I have to wash my own dishes now my life is over!
>>517696557>wahhhhhhh I have to wash my own dishes now my life is over!How poor are they to not just buy a dishwasher?
>>517696344>No, Jesus was not the sovereign of any nation on Earth in his lifetime.His influence was so strong that he could have ruled the entire world.His sacrifice was a necessary evil to show us our human flaws and to improve ourselves.This is the act of a true king; he rules not by force but by persuasion.A good King.
>>517696663I have two dishwashers, my daughter and my wife.
>>517681211>psycho shoots wallHow does that equal poor? I guess it is a joke I am missing. Anyway, people in first world countries don't know what Real Poverty(tm) looks like, AND that's okay, we are still and should still complain when our countries are going to shite.
>>517696707>His influence was so strong that he could have ruled the entire world.Could have. Meaning didn't.
>>517688157that's a good story. i wonder how you did it? sounds like you took massive risks and eventually succeeded. good for you.
>>517696663But that would require them to rinse off the dishes and stick them in there, and most rich fucks think there are magic hands that pop up and scrub the dishes clean for them, so they won't do that.
>>517696776Because he was a good king, and a good king waits to be crowned by the people. He doesn't force the coronation; it is given to him.
>>517681211who among us hasn't passed out on hash after eating 14 cans of ravioli in front of a burned down trailer
>>5176816464 consecutive years worth of homeless shelter stints, when not living in hotels. Motherfuckers don't know what it's like to eat ramen noodles out of old margarine bowls when you're six years old. What they don't tell you about the poor is that more than a few of them deserve to be poor. The working poor get the shaft in this country, but then you have the junkies, the alcoholics, the retards. All these people would do with more money is more drugs.
>>517681211I knew a kid who sold the gifts he got for Christmas. He made fake IDs for stores so he could lie and say it was his birthday and get free shit. He would also go to hotels and take the free breakfast they offered - the shitty ass granola and sausage and scrambled eggs.Ever since then I hated poor people. There's nothing virtuous about saving money and trying to get free shit all the time. People that do that, I honestly think they should be splattered into a fine mist.
>>517696868Do retards in America pile up their sink for the Mexican maid or something? It takes less than 3 seconds to rinse a plate after use and biff it in the dishwasher.
>>517696191You can set your clock by the consistency of these accounts. Every person I've ever known who's dealt with poor people, usually through volunteering (especially around the holidays), usually only do so once, and come away with the perception that they're beyond redemption and that poor people are poor for a reason.But the left continue to clobber everyone with it like they do with climate change and all manners of other undefinable/unsolvable/nonexistent "problems" that should wrack everyone with guilt and is reason enough for them to give up their hard earned prosperity and freedom. Interestingly, the scourge of the left is one problem that does in fact have a solution.
>>517682018Same, anon. Same, bro.Fuck, man, why are boomers so fucking evil? Also, not one single relative to help me out. I had to pay it all, had to drop college, spent half of my 20's and my ealry 30's just to start "fresh". I hate this world so much.
>>517681676Meanwhile actual rich people are also all in debt. Funilly enough noone comes and take their shit when they can't pay though.>>517682018Damn dude wtf? You shouldn't have to pay a single cent of that shit though. Your parents literally did identity fraud.
>>517696868You’re retarded. You don’t have to rinse them that’s the whole point of a dishwasher. No wonder you’re poor.
>>517696947>and a good king waits to be crowned by the peopleSo he wasn't a King. Find an actual example of a King who eliminated currency.
>>517682018Lmao are u white
>>517697096You rinse plates before washing, otherwise you get a build up of scum over everything in the machine.
>>517696956Yeah it’s why most lotto winners are back in poverty after a few months. Dudes will literally blow $800,000 or whatever on garbage
>>517682598Why couldn’t your mom just shut the fuck up, suck his dick, and raise the kids?
>>517681211My family had to live in a camper on the property of another family member (and once on a campsite) on more than one occasion. Thankfully, we never really had to go hungry, although at our lowest we could only eat stuff like hamburger helper and the like.
>>517686500Yeah don't get me wrong if I was rich I would love to be generous and help friends and family out, but there is a big difference between that and getting exploited. Also why I always thought it was insane how in the US when people win big money in lottery they have to go on TV interview, like wtf? You are literally setting them up to get robbed.
>>517696956no, people who are poor deserve to be poor. My mom finally got a good job that would give us some security and not some minimum wage retard shit. But quit after 2 weeks because she was jealous of the bosses secretary because "they were screwing each other, I couldn't live with that">Of course after 16 years of constant moving, power getting shut off, "the lease is up and we have to leave town tomorrow, say goodbye to your friends" and my brother and I both have left the house. she settles down with someone stable and is retired.
>>517697096Yes you do, numbnuts. If you don't rinse them off then the shit that's stuck on them won't come off. I've seen retards do this too many times and I had to explain to them there are no magic fairies inside there washing the dishes clean. Anything that's stuck on the dishes like dried sauce, isn't coming off unless you rinse it first. I saw a dude open his dish washer and there was a fucking green bean stuck on the fork because he thought it would come off magically.
Americans who are poor long term are some combination of stupid, lazy, entitled, drug addicted, and emotionally unstable.Nigs embody all these traits. Many races here emulate them.
>>517697096How often do you have to clean out your dishwasher filter? Be honest.
>>517697221No you don’t. They are designed for dishes to go in dirty. All you need to do is scrape the extra chunks of food off with a fork.
>>517696199>>517696417>highest aspiration is fucking multiple women>thereby devaluing monogamous relationships>thereby deconstructing the nuclear family>thereby fomenting resentment among the men left aside>thereby ruining the lives of women, men, and the inevitably offspring of such behaviourNo wonder you refer to nigger dicks with a complimentary acronym, you're a spiritual nigger
>>517697101After Jesus' death, we entered a dark age in which no one could even approach the power of Jesus. But after 2,000 years, perhaps we will witness a good king who will abolish money.
>>517697424Sounds like you and your brother were shitty kids who prevented her from finding a decent man with your rotten behavior
Being poor is shit.It made me develop a frugal existence, it makes me constantly doubt if I should buy something even taking months to make decisions, I lost out on so much shit I could have invested in, and being okay with stagnancy and not being too keen to upgrade.
>>517697517>They are designed for dishes to go in dirtyAhhh, no. No they are not. Only lazy fucks think that. Scrap, rinse then rack into the machine. That's all you need to do.
>>517681211yes, it was a very dark and cold time of my life. i was 12 years old and my mother had lost her job and my father was an alcoholic. we were very poor. i remember being so hungry that i would eat my own lunch for dinner because it was all we had.
>>517697589Cool. You couldn't provide an example of a good King.
>>517697087>Meanwhile actual rich people are also all in debt. Funilly enough noone comes and take their shit when they can't pay though.Do you really believe this?
>>517697434You should be running the washer every day. Nothing should get dried in there like that. It’s more efficient to run a half full washer than keep pre washing dishes so you can load it 100% full after a few days
>>517681211I've kicked a homeless person in the head does that count
>>517682007Are you white? I've noticed that receiving food stamps and similar services is very easy for blacks and hispanics. Very hard to get if you're white. Ironically, whites are the top most race who contributes towards taxes that enable food stamps and other aid services. Welcome United States of Jewrica
>>517697458I just did and it was basically a waste cause it was totally clean when I opened it up. Seriously you guys need to trust me they are designed for dirty dishes. Pre washes aren’t necessary. Maybe if you live in a shithole slum lord apartment where the dish washer is like a knock off of a knock off chinese brand
>>517697745We have shown that he could have been a good king, which should be enough to confirm that good kings can exist.
>>517697747He's right rich people do usually have significant debt. He's wrong that they don't pay. No way in fuck are they mussing a mortgage payment.
>>517697586BBC news you daft cunt, lots of grandstanding while muhammad is the most popular name in your country lol I have a (white) family. I am simply saying being poor in todays day and age is not better than living like a king in all of written history. maybe you are a paki fucking moron, no reading comprehension.
>>517684149Children get left by their parents and you can't work at 16 with no ride or place to stay let alone when you barley get enough food to walk around children can't consent or make choices affecting their lives and they have no one so yes poverty exist in America retard
>>517697926Rich people don’t have debt they have leverage. They borrow at 7% but use it to earn a 20% return.
>>517681211I lived in an apartment that had several bullet holes in the upper ceiling/corner from stray bullets from gang violence
>>517697907>We have shown that he could have been a good kingNo you didn't.
>>517681211LEO roles are inherently lower middle class pay scales.
>>517698016It's still called debt.
>>517697869I tried to get housing assistence when I was younger and the black clerk laughed in my face and told me I was "too white for that". i'll never forget, I used to be a democrat and not racist and now I am full 1488.
>>517697773My house is old, plumbing is shit, can't install one of those so I wash everything by hand but I'm just one person and live alone. I even bought a mini washer to wash my clothes in so I don't have to spend money at laundromat.
>>517682688counterpoint: human beings don't thrive in a society built for rats you don't get rich by being a tradesman, honestly you won't even life a comfortable life or even have the ability to afford a family unless you become a middle class small business owner, becoming a chimera of the vaishya caste, making a living off of exploiting other tradesmen
>>517698025What exactly doesn't suggest that Jesus could have been a good king who had enough power to abolish money?
>>517681646I didnt have any friends to eat with my second year of college, I had money, but I would eat the whole pizzas and chinese food that guys would throw away. People usually have parties at the park and will leave whole plates and platters of food, and I have no shame in taking them home.
>>517698276Because you premised it on a hypothetical.
>>517698397It was proof enough to show that it is possible.
>>517681211i'm a squatter but nobody knows that.
>>517698451>proofA hypothetical isn't proof.
>>517695224There used to be laptops and ipods in the dumpsters at private colleges at the end of the semester.
>>517696173upvoting this
>>517698504We only know from books whether Jesus existed, which ultimately isn't exact proof, but it is also proof enough that there could have been a man who had so much influence over other people.
>>517698694>there could have beenOprah Winnfrey could have been the second coming of Christ. Notice how retarded a premise that is because it's based on a hypothetical?
>>517684176so now you can all afford to go back?
I used to live in stolen cars as a teenager. Been in prison 5 times in various places.Dad used to whip me with switches cut from trees (protect your balls if you ever get whipped). Used to use masking tape as body armour for knife fighting, you wrap as much of it as you can get around your arms and chest and you also tape your tools to your hands as thickly as you can so you don’t get them taken off you. Used to shoot up speedballs (crack & heroin mixed in a syringe). Actual speed too, it was very popular back in the day. Think that’s a big yes. I’m highly cozy now though, most people i knew didn’t make it, I don’t know anyone from the old days. I haven’t had to graft for a long, long time. I don’t work, never have done anything i didn’t want to do for fun/riches. Like I say though if anyone else made it I lost contact with them and mostly everyone’s dead or doing life.
>>517688905>Look down upon them, they've earned it.Based, fuck poors
>>517698841Oprah Winfrey's influence is a drop in the ocean compared to Jesus. That's why the comparison sounds so stupid.
>>517681569I regularly sleep on my floor. I like the firmness. I clean it though because I'm not a filthy fucking indian like your family
>>517697517They are not designed to go in dirty, you bought into lies from the industry
>>517699139No, that's a subjective opinion.
>>517683126The military is a great way to turn yourself middle class overnight. I didn't grow up poor, but I grew up with drug and alcohol abusing parents with mental illnesses running rampant. Joining was a great way to get out of that. I learned some discipline and drive my parents never taught me. I used the GI Bill too and now my life is way better than if I had just stayed around my hometown and stayed close to my family.
>>517681211Checked. I hunted rabbits, quail, dove and squirrels so that my family could have meat. I hated eating fish.
>>517686764I wonder if he had the time and wherewithall to reflect on why he got shot and how easy it would have been to continue living instead of getting shot. Gotta wonder about a man's last.
>>517699325It is a subjective opinion to need to have a proof to show the possibility of a good king.
>>517681211i'm romanian
>>517699587my condolences. hope you get better.
>>517699566>possibility of a good king.No, the question was can you demonstrate a 'good King'. You can't.
>>517699858unfortunately there's no cure.. we must suffer and be poor. We deserve it for not fighting harder during ww2.
>>517692102Bro is lost in his ubermensch fantasies
>>517681211One time during winter my gas service was cancelled. I was out of a job. Cold showers all winter. Also my meals were usually the cheap ramen. I was really thing. Best shape of my life lol.
I grew up in poverty in the Appalachias. We grew up very close to the ground. If it wasn’t grown,raised,or hunted down, we didn’t eat it. I remember my mom digging through couch cushions for spare change. I also remember my dad getting hurt at work ( logging) and almost losing his arm. It was almost two years before he could work again.
>>517681211I lived in social housing for most of my life and grew up around scumbags. That's why i never trusted the kikes.
>>517700033>card swipedchecked. we'll get them this time, gyppo.
>>517700109>Cold showers all winter.If I wanted to not take ice cold showers I had to heat up water in the microwave. But the microwave was really small and it took forever to heat up even a small amount of water (small amount VS the amount needed for a light bathing).
>>517681211When being riased by my single mother we experienced poverty, but she always found a away to lift our standard of living. As an adult I've been homeless and living in a tent and living with mental illness and pain. I'm not in poverty anymore though, but most of my life has been.
>>517699939Is a demonstration necessary to prove that good kings can exist?
>>517689893Pretty much, yeah. It's not a problem if you're skinny. Low ground pressure.
>>517700723>that good kings can exist?Again wasn't the question. Question was who in history was a 'good king'. You didn't answer.
>>517695224Little Caesars used to have pizzas for $5, they were called hot and readies, they would have them sitting in a warmer ready for pick up. At the end of the night Amy pizza left in the warmer (like 5-10 pizzas) would get placed in a trash bag (in the pizza box and all) and placed in the dumpster.They discontinued the warmer, or at least the quantity in the warmer, a few years ago I think, but I was homeless in 2008 after leaving the military and not even being able to get a job at mcdonalds because of the 08 recession.
>>517699089Grim, good to hear you moved on.
>>517700925Because the premise of the question was already wrong. Otherwise, you could have answered this question.
