i promise any child who gets to this point wishes their parents weren’t so self-minded as well, but now housing and healthcare are impossibly commodified and the ladders have been getting pulled up for 45 years.

maybe if we didn’t live under oligarchical control, you wouldn’t have to scrape away the future of your children just to take a trip overseas- but acting like it’s an inevitability of life and not an injustice of the slave drivers in control is thought terminating and frankly disturbing.

not that i know how this specific guy treated his kid, but it’s a far worse punishment to be born into a family that treats you like an investment above all and most children with this attitude had that kind of upbringing. in such cases, the parents are simply reaping what they sowed. the children didn’t get a choice.
