literal fucking friends
The best kind of friends. Though I’ve usually just heard them called “friends with benefits”

brygphilomena@lemmy.world 3 months agoWell, I spent several hours talking to them the other day, wishing them well and wishing my support to them. If I was still in the state, I would be out there side by side with my literal fucking friends. I’ll also support the newly formed entertainment union that JUST voted to unionize. I’ll speak on their behalf and tell people how the company treats them unfairly and fucks them over every single day.
What the fuck do you want me to do? Not have taken advantage of my employer while I was working there and taken the employer match? It’s in a 401k, it’s not like I can just get rid of it all for another 30 years and it’s not like I have much.
Stop being a fucking dick.

You know what man, I really don’t know what I want you to do, and I’m sorry for coming at you like that. I and we have been taking so many godamn L’s I lashed out. I hope you and y’all and we find a way. I don’t have a means to help and I also don’t have anything close to retirement so I assumed you might. I hope it gets better.

Don’t think twice about it, I hope you start to get some Ws soon. We all deserve some grace. I truly hope things get better for you and you can bounce back. I really appreciate the reply and the private message apologizing.

Random stranger commenting to say I appreciate how this played out and kudos to you both. This comment chain is a striking example of the exact problem we’ve inherited as a society, and its solution!
Those of us (nearly everyone) abused by the extremely rich have this tendency to lash out at anyone within reach that just miiiight be wealthy enough to be part of the problem. The reality is that you - and literally almost all of us - will never rub elbows, pass in a hallway, even glimpse - the (extremely rich) people actually causing our problems.
That’s the whole fuckin thing, how the misdirection of rage that fuels the whole shebang, is created. You (we) can never even really SEE the people who are doing this to us. We’re all furious, and the villains have been invisible for so long that we’ve gone dumb - attacking one another, fellow sufferers - has become damn near instinctual.
The solution (or part of it) is right here in y’all’s comment chain too - just a sudden realization that the person doing a little bit better than you (us) has nothing to do with your difficulties. It’s almost always the fault of the invisible, antihuman greed monsters.

You’re definitely right, but my comment was a very reactionary and hostile comment. I just hope we all make it through, really.
