[a foot race is setup in a stadium, in which a confused green character has to start 100m away from the finish line, while a smug orange character starts 10m away from the finish line]

[orange easily finishes first, and smugly proclaims] Another easy win! I am better than everyone!

[green, on all fours, visibly tired and sweating] Well that was unfair…

[orange, covered in medals and holding a trophy, points at green angrily and scolds them] Get a grip What a sore loser You just hate success!

[yellow watches the race on TV, and rants about it from their sofa] If green wanted to win, he should have worked harder Some people are just allergic to effort Entitled… (?) (?)… millenials Always looking for excuses People need to be taught discipline Immigr… (?) Typical green behavior Should seize opportunities Bootstraps Quitter behavior Green people want to be poor

    Honestly, I get it, some dipshits starts way ahead and you started in the gutter.

    Most people however legitimately start in the gutter and don’t even try, embrace anti-intellectualism, and see people climbing their way out of the gutter as traitors. And I fucking hate those people more than the douche with a silver spoon up his ass.

      I hate it when the success stories are used as ammunition. Because a tiny minority made it super successful its possible for anyone to do it, and if its possible for anyone then its realistic for everyone, so anyone who didn’t is fundamentally bad. They may be stupid, lazy, crooked, unambitious, but fundamentally bad in some way.
