People literally say stuff like this: "Yea, the way it is, is cruel, but that is the way it is."

Ok, so you recognize that the way it is, is not good, yet you do not want it to change??

They're defeated but don't want to admit to themselves or others that they're defeated.

Looking back, I know Ive always been defeated by the world. Ever since I could consciously consider it. Everything always seemed to big for me to move and I just never tried. I just try to be good to those around me and make that my part instead.

The system generally works just fine for those people, sure others are suffering, but they live in nice neighborhoods and went to nice schools, and now have nice jobs.

Because even though it's bad, it's not bad enough for them to do anything. They're fine with other people suffering so long as they can remain in their privileged status. They don't want to risk changing their current standing so that other people can be uplifted.

Cause it invalidates their whole life trying to make it in this system. Cause there has to be a rainbow at the end of so much struggles like they see in other people's lives.

wow posters are even willing to lie about what you said in a thread that is verifiably a false claim to anyone who read said thread in order to defend the status quo

When you have lived a life of privilege, equality feels like oppression.

If you protest, it's because you feel your voice isn't being heard. If you riot, it's because you feel your voice is being ignored.

Eh I'm just ok with my life. Really wouldn't change anything. Maybe a few things about myself but nothing far reaching.
