Poor people fuck everything up. Example 1: their lives. If you can’t manage to follow the basic investment strategy of “spend less than you make”, then you deserve the obvious outcome of “having less than you need.” I avoid becoming poor every day of my life and can honestly say it’s not that hard.
So why do liberals fanaticize over the idea of being destitute? Most of them have grown up rich anyway, so why are they attracted to helping the homeless or criminals? It’s because they’re suckers. As I explained in Example 1, most poor people are poor for their own fault. But liberals don’t believe anything could ever be their own fault, so they view the poor as good, honest victims.
Nothing gets a liberal harder than a helpless victim.
Liberals live in a world of binary Good vs Evil. This is because conflict is much easier to comprehend when someone else has told you who the “bad guy” is. In a liberal’s mind, the bad guy is by definition anyone successful. This is due to a corollary to the law of “nothing is ever my fault” known as “nothing good is ever earned.” As a complement to the belief that failure cannot be one’s own fault, they belief that success cannot be due to one’s own achievements. Therefore, all wealthy people are the result of mere luck-of-the-draw and also cloak and dagger Illuminati meetings who have decided that black people can’t be rich.
That’s not to say that only black people can be poor. Of course white people can also be poor, but unlike everyone else the struggles of whitey actually are their own fault as karmic retribution for centuries of institutionalized racism imposed against everyone else in the world. Go figure.
Of course, fetishizing victimization is nothing new to the left. Together with socialist economic opinions, this practice allows one to virtue-signal at a minimum cost to themselves by “pooling” funds to support these needy losers. This, as we’ve seen, does not accomplish anything. But did we ever really expect them to accomplish much?
