  • If you can make money as a doctor you’d have to be an idiot to try and make money as a content creator.

    Unless a doctor is being paid by a government or NGO, it makes zero sense for them to spend their time making educational content on the Internet. It’s actually pretty easy for doctors to donate their time actually helping people directly if they want. Lots of doctors do that already.

    That’s unfathomable to you because you are in a very privileged position in society. Especially right now the vast majority of people are struggling to take care of themselves let alone an adult child. You must not only be privileged, but completely sheltered from the reality that the majority of people face. You’ve chosen to live in a high income are and only socialize with high income people. The posts you see online are a small taste of the regular world. Every parent wishes they could help their children as much as you have. But don’t be surprised if every time your kid has a huge financial issue that they come to you to solve it, you’ve taken away pretty much every struggle a young adult typically has to deal with.




  • He chose a post about how these people are threatened, and complained because it wasn’t about him. Not only to complain about how this is the one place he didn’t see himself represented, but then to use that as an excuse for supporting people who are literally trying to kill the people on that shirt. If you don’t see why that isn’t disturbingly problematic and childishly selfish I don’t know what to say to you.

    Literally everyone who isn’t rich is suffering in that same way. The rigged economy is trying to kill all of us. But working class straight white men don’t also have that blamed on them and don’t have their lives threatened in the way these people do on a daily basis.

    I’m a straight white male saying this to you and him, grow the fuck up. I have the same grievances about the rigged economy. And to top that off, I have a chronic life threatening illness.The people in power are trying way harder to kill me than the average straight white male. You don’t see me bitching and moaning that I’m not on that shirt, because I see myself on that shirt. Those people are me, we are all humans struggling. I know who the real enemy is. I would NEVER blame my problems on these people, or complain that their struggle is getting recognition. Because that struggle is IN ADDITION to all the same economic bullshit I have to struggle with day in and day out.

    Instead of saying, “yeah, shit sucks out there and I’m with you,” he chose to say “this is why people like me support the people trying to kill you.” That is so fucked up beyond belief. THAT’S why he’s being dismissed.
