I didn't go to an Ivy League school. I was a college dropout (dropping out from a perfectly-fine-but-not-remarkable state school) for the first decade of my career, and my degree now is from WGU, hardly some elite fancy school.

I assure you I can wipe my own ass without my mom's help, and I haven't needed any financial help since that episode where I asked her to call in a credit card so they could do the pre-bill at the hotel, which again didn't actually cost any money.

You are really stretching this because you really want to be a victim and you really want to paint me into some yuppie trust fund kid, when that simply isn't the case. Sorry, life is more complicated than stereotypes you saw on television as a child.

Everyone knows it's rigged, but the amazing part from your comments is that it's rigged specifically against you. You said as much in your first reply. That's amazing. You're a very special person, the entire world has conspired to specifically make your life bad.

I may be an idiot, but at least I'm not a coward like yourself.

> systemic financial inequality doesn't exist, people just like being victims

Ok well then I hope your house is burned down in riots and then your family are killed before your eyes, and then I'll just say you want to be a victim since that's the natural response to attitudes like yours

Literally won't even care when it happens, because I'll remember how you thought about it

		I didn't say that systemic equality didn't exist. Of course it does, you can feel free to go through my post history if you want to see where I've argued that very point in the past. There's a million reasons why there exists inequality, like race, religion, ethnicity, and of course poverty. Obviously things should be done to help with that. You said, and this is a quote, "don’t know anyone else in the world except for me who doesn’t have any help" which seems to suggest that you are being singled out. I have no idea about your life and frankly I don't really care. You derailed something in order to complain about how the world hates you, and bizarrely tried to make me feel bad for being able to call my mother to call in a credit number for a hotel pre-bill, and it sure seems like you're trying to make yourself seem like a victim. If you had your house burned down in a riot and had your family killed before your eyes, then I think you should see a therapist instead of fishing for...whatever the hell it is you're fishing for on Hacker News.
