    “Oh look, Brian Thompson has some characteristics of you poors, you should consider him your hero!”

    This article is literally based on feeding class warfare. There’s something people have to understand - “second class” is just the supposedly the right way of doing things so you can eventually live well and make sure your children live well. The amount of assholes in today’s world who are either rich assholes and remain rich assholes who give no shits about the right way of doing things, or poor people who are like them and rise above everything else because they are assholes and embrace it, is far too high. The absolute shamelessness of this article as the second class is being dismantled because it’s just better for rich assholes for everyone to remain poor except the ones willing to become as much of an asshole as them just speaks volumes about the state of American society.
