So how does a person succeed when they're born poor and have zero social support?

So how does a person succeed when they're born poor and have zero social support?

>Inb4 just bootstrap brah
Do not dumb here. Not dumb area here.

>implying Veeky Forums knows anything

How old are you approximately

Why?

Because that affects whether or not I will advise you to bootstrap or not

depends on what you mean by social support

if social support includes family, community, education

then... you don't

>He's actually trying to tell someone to bootstrap
You guys realize the entire story behind the term "bootstrap" implies "something which is impossible" don't you?

>The world has become so brainwashed and destroyed by fucking retarded capitalists that they now unironically use a term that means "impossible" as a command against people

>if social support includes family, community, education
Yes.

>then... you don't
Yeah exactly. Guess I have to rely on the same thing that's made everyone in history rich.

Luck.

This is a rhetorical question, right?
Because it sounds like you typed this while staring at your yellowing Bernie Sanders poster.

what's your story?

Well

I know a few people who grew up in as shitty of a place as you who are now range between 1-100M.

u should wagecuck

The irony is that left wingers are for high inheritance taxes, even though inheritance is one of the greatest poverty destroyers.

>Everyone rich just got lucky

Ok dude. Keep thinking that.

Born poor. Have a disability. Very intelligent though, so I have to be reminded every day that because I was born poor I have no future.

This is such 100% wrong-headed thinking. If we actually had such a thing, the entitled rich would be FORCED to change the abusive system we have now because being born to rich criminals would no longer be a free ride for life.

no education?

How do you explain people who get rich from poor circumstances?

Just got lucky and a successful business popped up magically and they made money?

Do you actually believe if you're born poor you have no future? because it's just sad to be such a self defeatist

I can't complete a college degree because of the math requirements and my disability, even though they have nothing to do with the majority of fields I'm interested in. It's just the retarded meme that burgerland decided to go with (everyone needs calculus!! - Nope).

What disability do you have?

>rich criminals
Why specify criminals? It's not like inheritance taxes discriminate.
Can't you admit you favor them irrespective of the criminality of those affected?

have you tried contacting student services in writing asking for accommodations, including medical documentation

Because private property is a lie maaan

All rich people do is steal from us hard working proletariats

>How do you explain people who get rich from poor circumstances?
They're normie shitbags who get lucky because their sociopathy and interests fall in line with their victims' addictions. Or they're just plain good old fashioned lucky, like Oprah. It's pretty telling that bootstrapping is pure mythology when there are less than 2,000 billionaires on the entire planet of 7 billion + people.

>Just got lucky and a successful business popped up magically and they made money?
Yeah, pretty much. It still fascinates me that so many people are so easily brainwashed they can't see this for what it is and try to claim stupid bullshit like "hard work" and "staying in school" are what make people rich. No, that makes people middle class. The rich are born, not made - or they just get insanely lucky.

>Do you actually believe if you're born poor you have no future?
Not only do I believe it, I've TESTED the theory over and over again. Opportunities wide open to those born rich simply do NOT exist for those born poor. If you're born middle class or rich you can intentionally fuck your life up and still come out ahead. If you're born poor you have to live a perfect life and even then expect at best to be a wageslave until you die. And if you're disabled like me then you may as well forget it.

One that makes it very hard to do math, among other things. So as you can see, the college route is totally out. Not that college would help me do what I want.

Because most of the wealthy are criminals. Just look at Trump or the Kochs or any number of other plutocrats. Organized crime is so common with them we may as well just start calling them what they are.

All they do is give you "more time" on tests, which is no help whatsoever. As I said, college wouldn't help me anyway. I figured that out long ago. College is just another trap the rich cunts created to saddle the poor with debt for life and destroy them while further enriching themselves.

>Implying this is wrong
You forgot stealing from and destroying the Earth also.

>Normie shitbags
are you from r9k?

I think your disability extends far past just math.

>One that makes it hard to do math

Which condition is that specifically?

So basically everyone is out to get you, you have some undefined condition that prevents you from doing math, rich people all got lucky, private property is a scam, etc?

What exactly do you want with this thread?

Do you want affirmation of your beliefs? Do you want advice? What is it you're looking for? I'm not understanding just by following your posts.

>What exactly do you want with this thread?
You and your entire family to die in a house fire.

You have some issues.

I'm just trying to understand what the point of this thread is

No you're not. You're here to try to spread the propaganda your empty little head was stuffed with by the dominant order.

What propaganda am I trying to spread? I haven't voiced my opinion I simply questioned yours.

You seem to have an issue explaining your strongly held positions without using inflammatory language, being ambiguous or flatout insulting people.

"normie shitbags" "criminals" "I have a disability but I can't name it for some reason" "everything is a trap by the rich"

What message are you trying to convey to us? I'm totally open to converting to your point of view but you're not selling it very well.

>without using inflammatory language
I'm not the fucking mainstream media, you little slut. I don't see the world burning then say, "Well we've heard from the firefighters, now let's be fair and listen to what the blaze has to say."

If you're not mad as hell at this late date, you are 100% part of the problem.

what did you major in? in some fields, the skills matter more than the degree

Pussy. I'm down everything possible in my life to get rich. Cause why the fuck not. And if I don't who gives a fuck at least I can say I tried.

Failure after trying is still failure. Nice rationalization though.

What problem?

I'm not a slut I'm in a monogamous heterosexual relationship.

You're not explaining yourself. There you go again. "problem" - elaborate. Which one?

Which condition do you have that prevents you from doing math? I'm still curious about that

*Doing. fuck been a long day of work and teaching myself stocks.

>Because most of the wealthy are criminals
Well for one, I don't see how you could possibly know that, or prove it.
Also, most does not equal all, so aren't you just saying that you favor inheritance taxes whether those affected are criminals or not? Because it's pretty disingenuous to use the term to bolster your argument, then.

This.

I'm curious how this poster knows how to get rich so well. Have they ever been rich?

This bernie bot is broken, we need to either RMA him or do something. Can you email Socialist Action or whatever communist group and request they send a new one out?

I genuinely feel bad for you now user. With that outlook on life you're just setting yourself up for failure. Maybe it's just how I was raised, or maybe it's my egotistical narcissism to want to be the best. But I'll literally die before I lay down and give up, because fuck that I don't want to be one of those guys at 60 dying of a failing liver being fucked up all the time dreaming of "what could have been." I rather give and take my licks.

The wealthy are criminals by the very act of perpetuating a system by which mankind destroys itself and the environment. That alone is enough, but plenty plutocrats are actually involved in criminal enterprises in addition.

That's nice and all. But failing is still failing.

>I have a disability but I can't let you know which one

Lol.

Give it a break. This is a business board, you're not going to convince anyone that capitalism is evil. Try the local daycare on children learning to speak.

What's with the influx of sad sacks in Veeky Forums today?

>WAHH You won't see calculus in the jobs I want to apply to

No shit scumbag. Most majors and careers require lots of math knowledge due to logical and rational thought something that might be unprecedented in a select demographic as apparent to your persuasive whining. Just embrace your mental retardation and jump off a bridge.

Ok and we're the criminals who support this system.

We don't care, fuck off. You can't even articulate your points.

Which condition do you have that prevents you from doing math? 10th time it's been asked.

I have met literal retards who have finished college, you have no excuse you lazy shit.

Kek what a stupid asshole, fuck off you sound like a 14 year old.

He has a disability that makes it "very difficult to do math" leave him alone.

Can't you see the young man is just trying to preach the evils of capitalism and economics?

Join the military or apprentice for a trade skill. You may not end up a millionaire, but you'll climb up to a higher class & provide a better start for your children.

Or you can keep bitching & moaning about how everybody needs to help you, & have children with hopes that they'll struggle to take care of you when they grow up.

>by the very act of perpetuating a system by which mankind destroys itself and the environment
Existing qualifies as perpetuating?
That's a pretty low bar, isn't it?
Sounds like you're demonizing wealthy people for the simple quality of being wealthy.
All things being relative, aren't you "wealthy" when compared to penniless homeless people? And if so, aren't you therefore guilty of "perpetuating a system" by which you stay comfortable while they suffer?

i have little patience for pessimism. i think society is fucked up too, but i won't lie down and take it

i doubt that op really has been denied "family, community, and education"
for example, it sounds like they have attended college, which is itself an accomplishment. many never have that opportunity

regardless, i sympathize w/ op
i think the whole "everyone goes through hardships" line is the biggest crock of shit ever
there are hardships, and there are real hardships
and it sounds like OP has had real hardships

i've hard real hardships too, my parents were terribly abusive, i was a runaway and lived in a homeless shelter while attending high school, ended up at a really shit undergrad and developed major drinking and drug problems, found myself playing harmonica in the subway for change in my 20s

i found my way out of it. life isn't all roses now, but by any objective measurement, i am very "successful," at least financially
but it sure as hell wasn't luck. i've had a pretty bad run of luck in my life
also wasn't bootstraps either. i have unique skills and talents, but exploiting them required guidance and cultivation

if op would be a little more forthcoming, maybe we could help them
but it seems like they're more interested in being aggrieved

But it's not a competition who has more hardships.

Good on you for overcoming those issues great job user. People like OP should disgust you though. He's basically spitting in your face and refusing to acknowledge you had a tough life, probably even tougher than himself and overcame it.

I don't think being a stubborn ass about meme diseases and spouting conspiracy theories count as hardships. You want to know what a hardship is? Try being a poor kid from an actual third world country who was raised fatherless with a single mother working to substain a family of 12, who decided alongside his siblings to be STEM graduates.

You don't.

Just kill yourself now please and let the rest of us continue without having to drag your ass forward.

Being able to do calculus has nothing to do with intelligence, it's about work ethic you mong

>refusing to take any shred of responsibility for your life to the point where you claim to have a disability that makes downie-tier mathematics literally impossible

>he thinks hes a communist
>despite being a pessimist
you should kys man, you're no help to capitalist society nor the coming revolution

Dyscalculia.

Kerry Packer was so dyslexic he had to get his assistant to read out his mail.

I know a nice guy who literally cannot count to seven without tripping up. He owns a recruitment business and made 7 million (AUD) profit last year.

Already by looking at your post, you've got a victimhood/pessimist mindset. Every cunt is broke as shit. Think of something that adds value to peoples lives, combine it with something you're good at (you're smart, should be easy) and spend $100 getting a cheap website up and running, another $100 on advertising and go from there.

>just bootstrap brah
That's genuinely the only option you have.
You'll have to do it the slow, difficult, and risky way.
Save up your wages, start a business and become successful.

>It's pretty telling that bootstrapping is pure mythology when there are less than 2,000 billionaires on the entire planet of 7 billion
Obviously being a billionaire is an unrealistic goal post.
Most of us would say making over 100k annually can be considered "successful", and 20% of households in America do just that.
You think all 20% were either born rich or just got lucky?

>One that makes it very hard to do math, among other things. So as you can see, the college route is totally out. Not that college would help me do what I want.
kek most college grads suck ass at math & you even admitted that it wouldn't help anyway so you're just using your disability as a lame excuse
