  • Did you have an adult in your life constantly telling you how lucky you are and it will only get worse when you were a teen? That shit robs you of your joy then and later; that mentality sets you up for failure. That’s what OPs post is describing. And if you think that people who are disabled or can’t make ends meet can’t have joy in their lives then you’re reinforcing the narrative that you must have certain things in order to “win at life”. Even if there is an element of truth to the sentiment there’s no reason to blow out of proportion that life is one endless stream of misery once you’re X many years older

I feel like we saw something similar with Khashoggi’s execution. “Of course modi can interfere in their lives, they’re of Indian heritage…” as if they’d tolerate a European premier telling white Americans what to do or else
