Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

We are now in an age where cynicism, bullying, and overt cruelty are actively rewarded on social media. Remember to not take it on you. Engagement is what they want, don't give it. Stay united, know they do this because they are miserable, and have nothing to contribute but hate. Stay strong. ❤️

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all."

Arthur C. Clarke
