>Do you say shit like this irl too? you sound really insecure.

What I meant, which should have been obvious, is that I at least look like someone that would make a girl think:

>"If I did fuck this guy, and I guess I could as he looks like he's got his shit together, if I ended up pregnant, at least my life wouldn't be totally fucked."

Whereas the reality is different. I have something like £40 in my bank account desu kek.

When did you realize that 'ressentiment' is just a fancy way of spouting the 'Politics of Envy' line that people always try and fail to use as a valid critique of Marxism/Socialism/etc?

First world problems aren't problems PRECISELY because they occur within the first world. Much as I enjoy having offended your bourgeois sensibilities, I'll continue.

>Who gives a fuck how bad Utanabe Wasabginwa feels eating raw goat in Eritrea after his clan got wiped out, it's a consequence of his culture's stupidity. Who cares if some Afghan kid learns magic to help put a smile on the face of his townspeople after they are scarred by war. It's terrible stuff.
>Who gives a fuck
>It's terrible stuff

There's a contradiction here, and it's revealing. I'm sure that in public you might pretend to care about the miseries of Africa/Afghanistan/etc, but with the anonymity of /lit/ we can see your performance for what is.

The irony here is that you accuse me of lacking empathy, yet you (and anyone else who sympathizes with the author of this work) can only relate to it BECAUSE of your refusal to put it into perspective with the other suffering taking place out there. As with any first world problem, those experiencing them have merely, whether due to a lack of imagination or consideration, failed to set their ego aside and consider the suffering of others.

>First world problems are inherently interesting because they are the consequence of an intelligent race / society who have cured all external ills but still suffer from internal ones.

The worth of suffering is not dictated by how 'interesting' it is.

How low is your bar?

>Still drawing a distinction between sex and gender

This is a recent and politically motivated phenomenon. Do not legitimise it.

On the contrary OP, I am increasingly convinced that philosophy is the only worthwhile pursuit.
