Kindness, curiosity and a firm belief in treating everyone like they are actual real human beings who can do what they want. It's important to ask people why they do things.
Anarchist with a small 'a' (that is, never going to be vegan, and I've had a managerial position [no, I don't think anarchism means no leaders but I do feel gross about taking part in the paramilitary office structure, and how much I loved the money and status and power]).
The controversial one is โif you have disposable income, your day-to-day problems won't be real problems'. Most problems are not real problems because money addresses them. Existential, emotional difficulty? Great! You can afford to go to therapy whilst still not suffering any real day to day problems because you have the money ๐.
I'm also fed up of weird consumerist attitudes around 'if I dont get to do everything I want, I'm struggling for money ๐ฅบ I'm poor'
That needs to go fucking yesterday.
spoken like someone who has never dealt with problems money can't solve.
like your loved ones suffering
No, no, that would come under "real problem" because money can't solve it.
The important word in that sentence was "most".
Woah! I read tuhat part of their message as sarcasm and was surprised by the sudden change of to be... But they really meant it literally!
Therapy won't help instanteneously. It also will alleviate the suffering, but not remove it.
it also won't help chronic diseases or disabilities.
Again, those are real problems that money can't solve
