Your attempt at projecting this rugged individualism is not macho, it’s not cool, and it’s not a strength. If bootstraps and hard work with skills were the pillars of “success” why were African slaves the poorest in America? Nobody with a high IQ or with empathy is gonna applaud you and validate you for being an asshole. Period. You don’t know my background or any other persons background so the bullshit of “Well I made it, you can too, and if you can’t…fuck ya.” That’s worst of human kind coming out in you. Get the fuck out of here talking down to other people because they are not “successful like me”. Goddamn kid.
