The best way to fight the system is to be jobless. Imagine if no one had a job? Bye bye capitalism. The end. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Just skimmed through the thread and its filled with strawmen or plain misunderstanding.

Nobody is criticizing someone for having rich parents, even if said parents got that money from exploitation, heck even slavery.

No the criticism is that someone rich, thanks to their parents rather than their own effort, is promoting a way to reach such a position in life by replicating a path that is not real. If you have rich parents and you promote "making stuff" or writing a book, which you actually did yet never meaningfully contributing to the lifestyle you are promoting, you are basically dishonest.

TL;DR: nobody cares about that specific person or that situation, we are just tired of lies sold for profit.

Reminds me of an aside from this blog article that has been living in my head for a few months — To Save the Arts we must Kill the Artist — that goes like:

the artist as the bourgeois failson

And other such points about the intersections of privilege, wealth, etc, and art.

i lost my job earlier this year, so i'm just vibin'. Not exactly ideal but I have some buffer time saved up.

[–] Octavio@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Or they might have broken their back working long hours for 20 years sacrificing to live below their means and build up a big enough stash to be able to vibe for a while and maybe even find something to do that would be meaningful for them and possibly help others. I don’t presume to know anyone else’s history, struggles, or circumstances, and it seems a bit unkind to make assumptions.

But, probably, yeah. In most cases. I just felt personally attacked because I just left a job I hated, moved to a low cost of living area, massively downsized on housing, and realized I can exist for quite a while without having a job, and can finally try finishing some side projects I never had time for. So, I still work, it’s just that nobody is paying me.
