Sometimes I think this community and instance might have some interesting views I can maybe learn from and about and sometimes, it's just... I don't know, like some kind of bougie fucking club for the self described intelligentsia
you can call us a lot of things but idk that bougie is one of them
its the old 'socialists are all middle class educated liberals' bullshit, if you're actually poor its 'you're just lazy', if you're well off and a socialist its 'you're bougie'
dont worry about it, they always find some cope.
"The left is just a pampered bougie club full of people with no life experience" is one of the oldest right-wing takes in the book.
we literally want to destroy the bourgeoise.
like, the debate here is between putting them against the wall immediately like the romanovs versus giving them a chance to surrender their ill-gotten wealth and be rehabilitated like Puyi.
As an enlightened centrist, I want to see individual punishments for the bourgeoisie.
For example, Jeff Bezos will have to work as an Amazon warehouse worker, with all of the horrible monitoring bullshit he's inflicted onto his workers. People will be able to tune into a live feed of him standing in the corner pissing into a bottle so he doesn't have to go to the bathroom. When he's no longer able to keep doing that job, he'll become one of the only homeless people in the world, and will be kept locked in a park with maximally hostile architecture.
Curious why you think it's bougie? I understand that we can come across as smug or arrogant but I'm not sure how we ever come across as bougie or decadent or anything like that.
I was a little drunk and I think bougie was probably not the right word choice. The sentiment was more meant to be something along the lines of exclusive or supercilious. Upon reflection I may just not be in on the joke.
it's just years of in-jokes from talking to each other endlessly
back on the original sub there was a poll and a huge percentage of us slept on a mattress on the floor.
lol go fuck yourself
This is the most correct answer.
I grew up poor, my friends were having sex and doing harder drugs as young as 11 and Ive lost a friend to H. There isnt anything about me thats bougie
This is certainly a take
Lmao i am literally in a swamp right now
