Just skimmed through the thread and its filled with strawmen or plain misunderstanding.

Nobody is criticizing someone for having rich parents, even if said parents got that money from exploitation, heck even slavery.

No the criticism is that someone rich, thanks to their parents rather than their own effort, is promoting a way to reach such a position in life by replicating a path that is not real. If you have rich parents and you promote "making stuff" or writing a book, which you actually did yet never meaningfully contributing to the lifestyle you are promoting, you are basically dishonest.

TL;DR: nobody cares about that specific person or that situation, we are just tired of lies sold for profit.

Reminds me of an aside from this blog article that has been living in my head for a few months — To Save the Arts we must Kill the Artist — that goes like:

the artist as the bourgeois failson

And other such points about the intersections of privilege, wealth, etc, and art.

The best way to fight the system is to be jobless. Imagine if no one had a job? Bye bye capitalism. The end. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Or they might have broken their back working long hours for 20 years sacrificing to live below their means and build up a big enough stash to be able to vibe for a while and maybe even find something to do that would be meaningful for them and possibly help others. I don’t presume to know anyone else’s history, struggles, or circumstances, and it seems a bit unkind to make assumptions.

But, probably, yeah. In most cases. I just felt personally attacked because I just left a job I hated, moved to a low cost of living area, massively downsized on housing, and realized I can exist for quite a while without having a job, and can finally try finishing some side projects I never had time for. So, I still work, it’s just that nobody is paying me.

For sure, and props to you for being open about that—something this post is arguing for IRL (trustafarians tend to conceal their privilege)

[-] goofystench@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

[-] GelatinGeorge@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

Try not calling them 'wage cucks' and you may get shat on less.

I guess. I’m trying to imagine a world where I could consider that suffering. :p

This is, apparently, Shanin Blake. This is a picture from 2017.

Her parents are not rich.

Arguably, there's a lot to criticize her about, but her leading a carefree lifestyle and finding success in publicizing it doesn't seem like one.

Wanna bet that whoever latches onto the image to jam their lazy uninformed truthiness (as Stephen Colbert coined the term) narrative into, uses the same kind of lazy uninformed truthiness narrative

Has anyone seen real dreadlocks before? These are obviously not real. Maybe she's not trying to pass them off as real, idk.

[-] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

I'm not sure I get why you responded to my comment.

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

Cuz you made me look her up.

[-] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Okay. I was confused because I never mentioned anything about dreadlocks.

[-] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 26 points 3 days ago

Trustafarian is an absolutely brilliant insult.

As someone who effectively lives in his grandmother's attic and "vibes" I am insulted by the vague comparison. I have to budget with my job damnit, I work as a courier one day a week.

The rest of the week is me doing autism and childhood PTSD things, so jacking off and playing Fallout NV. Also getting new scars via cats.

I also have a far better sense of fashion, THE 1940 SWEDISH TANKER GREAT COAT STAYS ON DURING SEX!

[-] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 3 days ago
