    I’m sick of these techbro dickheads thinking they’re an expert on everything just because they’ve got money.

      Well, the poor tend to be less educated and only care about immediate needs. So yeah, if you have money, you’re probably more of an expert than a person without money.

        the poor tend to be less educated

        Education being free or not depends on the specific government and its policies of a sovereign country. Education may not be free in your country, in which case yes poor people have less access if they have less money to afford it.

        You generalizing your experience in your country to the entire world, though, speaks to your bias and lack of education, which is quite ironic. It also speaks to your willingness to accept the status quo rather than try to undermine it and fight for something better for everyone.

        If you’re on Lemmy, you’re likely not rich, and so you’re acting against your own interest. We as a proletariat could achieve so much if we were willing to put aside our differences, aim towards the removal of rich twats from power, and install systems and policies that benefit us, not them.

        Instead, you’re propagating a lie with undertones that only rich people have the curiosity to learn about the world around them - as if they were born with that capability while the rest of us weren’t - all while failing to recognize that immediate needs have to be met first before people think about pursuing higher goals.

        Have a down vote.

        That’s a rather large leap in logic. And “the poor” wasn’t even mentioned, so your opinion just comes off as inflammatory

        But I guess opinions are like kittens, people just give 'em away

          Considering the fact that I grew up in extreme poverty - yes, yes I know ALL about them. Unlike random muricans who’s only struggle is inability to buy a new iPhone each year.

        I’m poor as shit and I think I’m pretty damn smart.

        My ex was a trust fund baby and dumb as rocks. I did his college capstone for him.
