What is “white person” about this? Working until you die is shit, and pretty much everybody does it.

I think blackpeopletwitter came first on reddit and was a pretty big sub because if minorities don’t have their own space, their voices aren’t heard amongst the majority.

Or maybe whitepeopletwitter came first

That’s the shitty part of everyone just duplicating reddit subs. If Lemmy does take off, a decade from now someone is going to have to explain shit from 20 years ago from another website.

It would have been better off to grow organically on its own. But kids wanted to be mods to have all the power but not do any work. So every sub on reddit exists on a every big lemmy instance

The original sub was made because r/blackpeopletwitter only allowed tweets from black people. There is no reason for it to exist here especially with the waning popularity of Twitter…but lemmy full of useless copycat communities.

Most other races this is a no duh dipshit moment. For the white race there is a larger demographic that think they don’t have to work.

Sounds like you’ve been brainwashed into just accepted the capitalist bullshit drivel we’ve been force fed our whole lives.

I’m going to guess it’s because most people have much more stressful lives and are too busy to be be bored (busy trying to figure out how to provide for themselves and their family, trying to get out of debt, etc). Also, most people do not have office jobs where they can drink coffee at a desk and listen to podcasts all day; most people have manual labor jobs and office workers are considered to be higher up the socio-economic ladder. So, the post is here to make fun of privileged white people who have a good life complaining about mundane things.

Yes, it’s mildly racist. There are, of course, many white people with low-paying jobs, and many POC with good paying jobs; but there is some statistical truth in the medians.

well no, you’re supposed to generate as much profit as possible for someone else at every moment. nothing is truly designed to help people or provide a good service anymore, at least not without hefty profit margins – as is their god given right. i mean its a business they hvae to do the number!!

Well, you know the old Greek saying:

“A society grows great when people plant trees whose fruit they will not enjoy, for the corporation will have other people pick it, package it, and sell it back to them all at a 150% profit margin.”

Damn… what in the younger-millenial hell is this take?

Maybe drop the entitlement and stop passively waiting for someone else to provide some meaning and purpose to your life. Read a book, take a walk in a park, adopt a pet, learn to cook, play a board game with a friend, smoke a joint and watch the sun set.

I get that it’s probably supposed to be some generic “capitalism is ruining the world” sentiment, but this person just sounds insufferable.

I think the point is, we’re living in a capitalist hellscape where human worth and all interaction is essentially boiled down to transactions. This person would like more meaning out of life than what the capitalist hellscape has on offer.

All those things combined doesn’t make up for all the bullshit we have to endure to afford to do that.

And no matter what our bodies still rot and die, and your brain isn’t getting backed up to “the cloud” either so might as well have never existed in the first place is a valid sentiment.

Read a book

They closed the library cause it didn’t make any money

take a walk in a park

The animals all left the park due to habitat loss and the air in the park isn’t safe to breathe

adopt a pet

One income isn’t enough to pay for pets anymore, and two incomes means the pets are neglected

learn to cook

The family owned grocery store went bankrupt due to inflation, now you can only get food from the McDonald’s and the gas station

play a board game with a friend

Most people don’t have friends anymore, it’s a well documented phenomenon. Probably caused by capitalism

smoke a joint and watch the sun set.

Cops will throw you in prison for it
