I took it more to be about hope rather than ignoring your reality, but it could go either way.

Hope is cheap. It can be a great motivator, yes. But this has nothing to do with hope. Hope would be painting the landscape around the lines of the bars. This is 100% about ignoring reality.

That’s just… like your opinion man.

My opinion becomes extremely relevant when stuff like this is used by those in power to justify their exploitative actions toward me and people like me.

People like you?

Poor, disabled, queer, etc. You know, regular people. Working class. Not rich.

Poor people can’t have hope?

We don't have hope. There's nothing to hope for. Hope requires the possibility of salvation, or it's just delusion.

Yeah, I think you’re conflating being poor with being pessimistic.

I'm actually an optimist by nature. This is just reality.

Oh you’re a optimist? I couldn’t tell.
Nezeltha t1_jaubwrs wrote
Nor can I, a lot of the time.
