Yeah, just look at those expensive white sneakers. Must be worth a fortune.
I am proud to say I am that man.
Edit: not this specific man just a guy with a wife and daughter who love him
I’m also in that position and it is amazing, my wife and son are more than I could ever have asked for.
Same. Life is great!
Amen brothers!
Hmmmmm…
I’m not totally convinced it’s not actually a caterpillar person. I mean you never know.
When you’re rich you can buy all kinds of weird shit.
They can still pay for things with many arms and legs, still wealthy.
I deeply believe that this romantic idea is being pushed onto us so that we don’t complain while the big rich focus on taking over the world.
What a sad, cynical, point of view. There is nothing that prevents you from trying to achieve riches while having a loving family.
The big rich want to tear the family apart
Yes yes. Family as important wasn’t carved out of the ether by evolution. It came from the back rooms of the rich as they plotted to distract you from the rat race so that they could win it.
its always been like this, you just haven’t been paying attention cause it wasn’t as in-your-face until now.
I’d argue that it was in our face before, the powers that be just do a good job of distracting us
You think that social animals with tight knit family groups posting about the benefits of tight knit family groups is propaganda?
Just wait until you hear about Big Food and how they’ve manipulated you to eat every day. And don’t get me started on Big Air.
By “this romantic idea”, do you mean the “richest man in the world” bit? I think people are responding under the impression that you think the idea of romance itself is propaganda, not the idea that romance is equivalent or superior to monetary wealth. That makes a little more sense; “tell them that love is worth more than gold so we can take all the riches”. Not saying I necessarily agree, but it’s certainly a less bleak outlook.
posts picture of depicting a loving family
Average Lemmy user: “How can you be a happy family when rich people exist? Don’t you know that being a loving relationship and having a happy home life is just propaganda by the bourgeoisie?”
I mean, fuck me. I’ve had my struggles with depression in the past but even I’ve never been this miserable.
There is some interesting theory about how people with kids are less likely to participate in revolutionary or disruptive activities and this is a tool used against groups
That said, was not the time or place, OP 🤦♀️
My fellow human,
I do not wish to disrespect or discredit your fears and emotions, but I must advise to lay off social media for a while.
