A common narrative among the wealthy is that they earned their wealth by working harder, and that everyone else is just lazy.
The problem with this narrative is that it’s simply false, the wealthy are almost always born wealthy, and then stay wealthy for the rest of their lives. This is regardless of how much work or effort they do, and is usually propped up by their own family. For example, its said that America is the “land of opportunity” and that anyone can become anything, but looking at college education its easy to see that the more wealthy your parents are, the more likely it is for you to have an education.
This data is the norm, but people like to cite examples that show people that are wealthy, but didn’t have wealthy parents, or didn’t have a great education. These examples such as Bill Gates are statistical anomalies, and are not usually the case for most people. In reality the wealth of someones parents are a great way to determine how much money their children will make.
From these we can see that people who are born wealthy are far more likely to make more, and get a better education than those born poor, but their advantages don’t stop there. Politicians, business leaders, and the media always propose that the way to make everyone richer, is to decrease the amount the poor get in assistance, and increase the amount the wealthy get.
From this we can see not only do the wealthy get advantages from being born wealthy, but they also are given incentives and benefits that allow them to stay wealthy. This isn’t surprising seeing that the wealthy are the ones who fund politicians, and own news media that presents these ideas, that somehow the wealthy “earned” all that they have.
From all of this it can be seen that the wealthy don’t “earn” their wealth, but instead inherit and accumulate wealth from being born wealthy. The entire idea of social mobility being a guarantee under capitalism is a myth that is said to make people complacent, so they don’t know that they actually have little control over their lives.

I wouldn’t normally ask for something like this, but the situation is quite serious. Mexico suffered another catastrophic earthquake that already has taken many lives and the death toll is expected to rise.
Please donate to Topos, a rescue team that was formed during the 1985 earthquake in Mexico City and has helped many other countries during catastrophes. YOU CAN HELP EVEN IF YOU AREN’T IN MEXICO. Your dollars are worth almost double in Mexico, so something small as $15 has a big impact. If you can donate, you can do it directly here: Paypal: donativos@brigada-rescate-topos.org
or visit www.topos.mx If you can’t donate, please share with any friends or family that are interested in helping. The people from my country would appreciate it a lot. Thank you and lots of love!

If you call yourself a Pristin stan but you fat shame Kyla then you don’t have the right to call yourself a fan. If you refuse to support Kyla because she’s “too fat to be an idol” then you can take your disgusting, ugly asses home and leave Pristin and Kyla alone because they deserve fans who love them wholeheartedly instead of fuckfaces who are too caught up giving shits about things that don’t need to be given shits about.
