Really? You think THIS is being reasonable?
let me clue you in: it isn't. It's judgmental and makes unfair victim-blaming assumptions. It's no wonder that people react with hostility to such a presumptuous and scornful take on people just doing their best to get by.
I clearly state that sometimes people gotta work just to get by and I respect that. But for many of us, especially here on lemmy who tend to be older, this isn't the case. I get that it's a touchy subject, no-one wants to be told they are lazy or that they're living their life wrong, but I believe that there's some truth to it. I don't know what the sollution is, but I think admitting to it a society is the first step.
