You might be the only person in here that gets this. There’s a very deep selfishness to the “American dream”. Like crabs in a bucket, you gotta grind to get on top of as many people as possible so that there’s less shit raining down from above.

The American dream is that someday you’ll have other people work their lives away so you can have a comfy life of luxury.
It was always bullshit.
