The self-made man is almost a myth. If you're born rich, you're better than all the smart people. It's been proven that rich people invest five times as much in their children's enrichment than poor people. It's a lottery.

Someone else once said that it is called the American dream because you have to be asleep to believe it. This has always stuck in my head because franky it is true. The system is designed is make social mobility nearly impossible. Higher education is very expensive and your standard public curriculum in K-12 is low quality because if everyone was equipped with the faculties for independent, critical thought the social problems that exist right now would not be as major or non existent. As an example, the CIA funnelled drugs into the USA to create an epidemic of addiction in poor communities, then the government subsequently created the War on Drugs (a huge failure). The CIA killed an undercover Drug Enforcement Agency officer named Kiki Camerena because he posed a threat to their drug smuggling operations. Experiments have been conducted on US citizens on American soil without their consent (such as MK Ultra) and this is just stuff that is public knowledge. Imagine what is classified. There is a great amount of evil in this world and the odds are against you. Changing ones socio economic status in a rigged system is one of the most difficult endeavours. The fact is nothing will change. Americans are viewed as cattle that need to be controlled via brainwashing through the media and psychological operations. It's sickening to me and sometimes I pity them.

No, the self-made man is a clever system of control, to sabotage any and all collective action against those in power

No.

>>18091756
>CIA funnelled drugs into the USA to create an epidemic of addiction in poor communities
Not this shit again. Where are the proofs of this?

>>18091590
this is

>>18091782
Whistleblowers from the CIA and DEA are the ones who made the allegations of the Kiki Camarena murder (publicly available info feel free to look it up). Why would the CIA help kill a DEA agent for any other reason? Turn your brain on please it is not rocket science.

Cope. Its not about being smart its about being innovative and social. You also need initiative.

>>18091854
>Whistleblowers from the CIA
LOL

>>18091590
nO tHIs IS

>>18091865
Why laugh at that? It is not funny. Even if you refuse to believe the allegations made by intelligence personnel on the Kiki Camarena case, you can't deny other things I said such as MK Ultra (declassified), among others. Keep living in ignorance. “The perfect dictatorship would have the appearance of a democracy, but would basically be a prison without walls in which the prisoners would not even dream of escaping. It would essentially be a system of slavery where, through consumption and entertainment, the slaves would love their servitude."—Aldous Huxley

>>18091890
it's quite well known that propaganda to shape public opinion is far and away what CIA has always spent most of its time doing, im just laughing that, knowing that fact, you would then ever listen to anybody who had been in the CIA about bizarre conspiracies to addict black people to heroin or something. to the extent they were involved in drug running the simplest explanation is that it helps funds their shit without having to go to congress

>>18091904
leftists and their shitty CIA conspiracy. Your evidence ends in like 1972. Meet us in the 21st century

>>18091904
Please don't refer to it like that. Say "the CIA" like normal people instead of implying it is a sacred, God like organization thank you.

>>18091908
yeah wrong post retard, try to keep up

>>18091908
Why am I a leftist all of a sudden? I am not a leftist I never said I was a leftist. Pic related is you. Very low IQ and rent free.

>>18091913
>>18091915
leftists are obsessed with the CIA and they have no evidence they have done anything significant after LBJ

>>18091911
yeah and then i'll start talking about what is going on in The America and what The Congress is doing to make The Amazon pay higher minimum wages. you fuckin dipshit

>>18091863
>innovative and social.
Those come with intelligence. And no, studies have shown that money matters a great deal.

>>18091919
>Who is Edward Snowden
I am afraid you are simply a retard. Anyone who you feel threatened by is a leftist. I am not even American and I think most leftists are idiots. But then again so are the right wingers like you.

>>18091908
demoted

>>18091921
You don't need to get angry. The CIA is not an omniscient organization. Employees forgo "the" and it has always been amusing to me. Also please capitalize the first letter when you start a new sentence thank you.

>>18091928
NSA is not the CIA

>>18091919
Trump lost
>>18091943
Snowden was a CIA contractor and the files he leaked also included information pertaining to the CIA as well as the NSA. More CIA leaks were also released by wikileaks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vault_7

>>18091947
Snowden said nothing that we "right wingers" didn't already know. It was the left that was shocked by it

>>18091941
what i find amusing is when dimwits like yourself go into spontaneous lectures on commonly known things

>>18091952
You live in a shithole that is on its way to becoming a dystopia and you are passive cattle that will accept it. It's pathetic but maybe it is simply learned helplessness. I don't know whether to make fun of you for being a cuck or pity you.

>>18091950
Only the fringe right wingers or "conspiracy nuts" were not surprised. It's funny how people who made allegation of government surveillance before Snowden were "conspiracy quacks" lol.

>>18091925
>studies
yeah no sociology in not a real science

>>18091966
>spontaneous dimwit lecture #2

>>18091981
Good thing he's talking about economics

>>18091983
>Amerimutt continues to flail its arms upon being confronted with reality
I choose to pity you.

>>18091990
we are talking about the "self made man myth" I doubt, the sample size was large enough or the data (tax data?) was detailed enough to come to a conclusion.

Easiest way to make it is to become a nurse, CRNA to be specific. Natty guard help pay for my schooling, so that now I don't have to worry so much and I can shitpost on /lit/ at 2 in the morning.

>>18091966
I bet his degree is retarded

>>18092007
Nice work nurse was a good decision. How many of your coworkers make tik tok videos?

>>18091756
>Someone else once said that it is called the American dream because you have to be asleep to believe it. This has always stuck in my head because franky it is true. The system is designed is make social mobility nearly impossible. H
Since stats have been collected about social mobility (simple earnings percentile from one period to another based on tax data), nowhere on earth has come close to the USA.

The fact is you're a fucking loser and the reason why communism will always be popular for the half of the population that are failures.

>>18091799
brilliant

>The fact is you're a fucking loser and the reason why communism will always be popular for the half of the population that are failures.
Why are you talking about communism? I am not a communist. I am not American and come from a wealthy family. I am simply realistic. As an outside observer your nation is a failure with terrible education, healthcare, pandemic response plans high crime rate, poor infrastructure and the highest incarceration rate in the world. Not to mention the millions who are on food stamps, the countless mass shootings and mental health problems, garbage treatment of your veterans and terrible food quality (HFCS and onions in everything). America is in decline. The truth is whether you vote dem or republican nothing will really change ultimately. But hardcore republicans are often poor, stupid, and willingly vote against their own interests. For example after Donald Trump lost the election he started raising money to "stop the steal." He raised about 100 million dollars from his poor and stupid voting base. And what did he do with that money? He paid off his own campaign debts. Like I said before, Americans are simply dumb cattle.

>>18091966
so this is what a slave looks like

>>18091799
>cutting edge
Lmao. Kys.

>>18092335
I mean it depends on the jobs man. Some jobs have you slaving away, some don't.

I remember I had two back to back 8 hour jobs and very frequently I just wouldn't even do anything all day for 16 hours. And I got paid for it.

The last time I worked two jobs was when I was remotely training for the physical job I have right now :3

I was working for a remote call-center type job, and I essentially made it look like I was working all day but ended up having to leave the company eventually.

It worked for weeks though, lol.

>>18091782
It's public information, there's academic books on it

>>18092346
lol sounds like a sweet gig for a few weeks

>>18092277
>loser
This buzzword has no power outside of america and it sounds like ridiculous movie-speak. You're the only people who think winning at gambling is due to merit.

>>18092368

ok, loser

>Mutts talking about Newton, Maxwell, Mendeleev as if they're americans.
God you people are embarrassing.

No, this is:
American culture is centered around niggers. They have holidays for niggers. They killed hundreds of thousands of white men to free niggers. They listen to nigger music. They elect a nigger as their president. They dress and act like niggers. They draw the entirety of their modern culture from niggers. They post sassy gifs about niggers. They watch sportsball in worship of niggers. Their biggest event of the year involves throwing parties in honor of niggers playing sports. They use nigger slang like "bruh" and "thot". When you say "Martin Luther" they're not thinking of the father of protestantism. They're thinking of the nigger. Their cities are completely overrun with niggers. They worship their ZOGbot police force disproportionately filled with niggers and their global police force of soldiers filled with niggers. Their men sit around watching nigger ball while their women sit around watching nigger talk shows. They worship niggers like Muhammad Ali and Michael Jordan and Michael Jackson and the late Mike Tyson while attacking the whites who actually built their country before niggers took over. Their movies are filled with niggers and their music charts are topped by niggers. They send niggers to the Olympics and celebrate when the niggers win because those niggers are true red blooded american niggers. They watch nigger porn to a point where "BBC" does not make them think of an international media company but about nigger penises instead. They will tell you how much they hate niggers and how the mutt's law meme is a stale joke and they are just pretending to love niggers but the evidence speaks for itself in that America has always been and will be a nation of nigger loving niggers.

I am genuinely not a racist person in real life but this copy pasta will never cease to make me laugh my fucking ass off lol
