Anyone else know this feel?
Hating poor people

No. You need to pull it together user cause it sounds like you're projecting your own issues on people who have nothing to do with you. Don't be mean.
Samuel Smith
Ignore this fag, fuck poor people, I grew up poor too and I'm at least doing something about it, most poor people deserve it
Jonathan Hernandez
What you're resenting are poor people who were never aware enough to understand their situation and how to get out of it. To give in to your lot in life is contemptible, especially when you live in a society with social mobility. With social mobility evaporating in the Western World, those who overcome can feel even more superior to their contemporaries.
Landon White
I think it's just that I hate low IQ people, and most poor people are dumb (obviously there are exceptions).
I want to become a part of the wealthy, upper class, high IQ, rich people jew club or whatever they have

>social mobility evaporating in the Western World,
Why do you think this is? College getting more expensive?
Michael Cruz
user here who hasn't made it yet, this is very much the way I feel about it, I've come to have a burning hated for complacency in myself which has also extended externally to others. There are times when I spot things that are obviously giving family or friends grief / potential money pits they could easily pull themselves out of. But when you ask them what they were planning to do, it almost always results in a nothing statement, when you give these people suggestions they just give a blank fucking stare back, it makes me want to call them a loser to their face.

Might be because you know most of them have a crabs-in-a-bucket sort of relationship with you via the political system, and that many of them just want to drag you down rather than pull themselves up. Thanks to politics/democracy there is no real boundary between you and them... If you try and help them you might expect it to work out like saving a drowning man who then proceeds to dunk you underwater as if you were an animate life raft. Things don't have to be zero-sum but politics will make it seem like that's the only way it can play out.
If they were not capable of harming and dragging you down, at least through degrading society/the culture as a whole and thus diminishing your enjoyment of being a member of this civilization, what reason would you have to dislike them?

You should only resent them if they turn commie, bro

It's called cockiness, it's cured by hardships and reversal of fortune.

Kinda. College was never a means for upwards social mobility. The stories of people getting jobs because they had a college degree in anything were from a time when it was actually valuable, and only available to the upper class. Since they sold college as being the only means to upwards social mobility, everyone got a college degree, which diluted the value to the point that most college degree programs do not net any benefit to those who acquire one.
People think college is a means to upward social mobility, but rather, it's a just a perk of being in a upper social class. Making it available to everyone didn't create opportunity for poor people, it gave them a fantasy which led many into debt. The increased cost of college is just a side effect of all this.

I want nothing more than for my children and grandchildren to live in a world where they don't have to experience the loathing you describe. A world free from parasitism.

on the one hand I definitely believe growing up poor warps your development and faculties permanently, making it harder for the rest of your life as a functioning adult to pull yourself out of the pit you started in, relative to a person who grew up well off and then became poor later on. In that sense, I have nothing but sympathy for many poors, because they do have it immeasurably harder.
On the other hand, I just despise them on an aesthetic level. This gets exponentially stronger as my net worth grows. Passing by trailer parks, panhandlers, etc, witnessing poor people being poor just fills me with visceral revulsion now. The worst are the homeless, sleeping on stoops, rolling around their shopping carts fulls of trash, shambling about looking like soggy pieces of trash themselves. I wish someone would firehose them into a fucking gutter where they'd disappear and never come back.
I guess with my wealth my expectation is that I can begin to afford a lifestyle without grime, dirt, decay, etc. Seeing poors being poor probably reminds me of the inevitability of entropy and decay on a long enough time scale, which is why it enrages me so much. All our bodies end up as worn out pieces of trash in the end, no matter how much money we use to buffer ourselves from it.
Still though, fuck poors.

I tried telling my parents there is 0 reason to ever purchase a new vehicle unless you're rich. They argued with me about how a new vehicle is so much more reliable and stuff. They act like a few years old used vehicle would be a rust bucket or something.

You will never be at the top of club. Prepare to get raped though if you try to join them. These people OWN people who want to be part of their club
Anthony Lewis
yes I have read "The God That Failed" my fellow aristocrat
pretty silly given how most used cars for sale have such detailed records now, and it's not like buying from greaseball salesman forty years ago where you are just taking his word that it's not a lemon... There's having detailed information for each make and model too, which didn't exist in the past.
Anthony Brown
i dont get this site, why would you waste time hating people who presumably did nothing wrong yet
Grayson Carter
u want to be a pedophile is what you are saying sounds like u want to fuck poor peoples kids lmao
Asher Wright
Yeh. You're trying too hard OP, nobody will ever fucking respect you and you talk exactly like a guy I know who boasted their supposed net worth to everybody and went on to put a lien on their house the next year.
Jeremiah Sullivan
yes i also grew up poor, its one if the reasons im so focused on money now. I always hated poor people though, just never realized why until i was older.
Henry James
Why is there so much reddit spacing in this thread and why is it just being ignored?

Perhaps is not hating poor people. Maybe you hated being poor and are projecting, in fear of being poor again.
It's a fact that people tend to avoid the unhappy and unlucky because they tend to drag you down. It doesn't mean all people are, maybe rich people identify the poor in this category, I don't know.

i dont give a fuck bout poor or homeless people but how you sound makes me want to violate you just bash you with my fists an elbows and rob u take everything u hold deer and cum in it
Connor Smith
You sound like a bitch, even more so considering your arrogance is from money made off of crypto and not any actual admirable endeavor. The only thing separating you and the rest of the pool people was that you were a nerd that was into tech and video games enough to consider gambling into the right crypto when nobody knew anything about it.
You basically sound like you are 12, got rich accidentally like all those rap music stars, and have to act like you are hot shit to quell your lingering insecurities of being born and raised poor and uncouth. If you weren't insecure, poor people wouldn't be living in your mind rent free.

Like what? Most rich people today came from wealth/inherited it, or made their riches off exploiting lower class people.
Seethe more poorfag.

Pretty much all rich people were in the right place at the right time. Your reductionism is cope.
