Preach.
I think its more something to do with if they carry an air of ignorance around them, or are snobby in any way.
That's not to say everyone born into wealth is like that...I've met many humble folk born into some lucky circumstances, but when someone is bratty or anything like that, I think people find it irritating >

People don’t complain that some are born rich its more about the way those rich people act. >

I agree.  But I do judge someone that flaunts something they never earned. >

This isn't an opinion. It's a rant. FFS. >

I don’t think anyone is complaining that some people are born into wealthy families. We just aren’t interested in getting career/financial advice from people who had all of the money and connections handed to them by parents and family. >

But that is making an assumption that someone born into wealth can't be knowledgeable in a field >

I feel like it's akin to getting body building tips from the Hulk. They can tell you the basics but are coming from a background that is wildly different from most people's realities. Many people live paycheck to paycheck while people born into wealth couldn't imagine what it's like being on a tight budget like that. 
"Well to get this big you just need to eat lots of protein, make sure never to skip leg day, and get hit with a massive dose of radiation". >


They can tell you the basics

Again you are making the assumption that someone born into wealth can not study and even become experts in different careers/financials >

Not at all. Maybe my point didn't come across fully. What I'm saying is they could easily be a very knowledgeable PhD/financial planner/economics award winner and have been born into wealth. So regardless of how they studied, they will fundamentally not understand the poverty mindset of someone struggling to save money. Even if they studied it really hard. So when rich people say "well X, Y, and Z are all you need to do to save money", people dislike them because they won't take all the factors affecting most people into account. >

got it, because people are born into wealth they can't learn about something and understaind it >

Explain how people born into wealth can learn and understand what it's like to struggle financially. >

They abuse it thats my problem with it as a citizen not as a person. 
I pay taxes to help them stay rich without having to actually deserve it by talent or skill or whatever, while they manage to avoid taxes and sometimes even fucks up people lives. Come on OP. Thats not OK. 
I dont want their money im fine where i am. I could do better sure but i dont have children and im fine. Idc about fancy restaurants, sports car or whatever else i found my equilibrium. This isnt that. They are a problem for society at large at least an alarming number of them considering the ramifications. >


Most of life is unfair and luck based. Chances are you’re never gonna be dealt an as good hand of life as people who inherit billions, and no hard work sometimes wont even change that. There isn’t always justice in this world but chances are you probably have a better life than someone else out there or it could be worse so people need to make the most of what they are given rather than complaining about others who are better off than them.

Not one word of this is set in stone.  We could all be guaranteed a fair chance, but rich people fuck it up for everybody, because they're not special unless there are people they can look down on and watch suffer. >

70 percent of wealthy families lose their wealth by the second generation. Around 90 percent of families lose wealth by the third generation. >

Who cares? We should still be allowed to bully them >

Lol :) >

No. People with significantly more wealth have the opportunity to alter the structures that govern all of us, in ways that others don't. It isn't all "luck". Luck may govern what youre born into, but intention and greed govern the fact that there's exhorbitant wealth (often obtained to the direct detriment of others and through their exploitation) for someone to even inherit. It's intentionally maintained structural inequality that allows this to happen, and most of the complaints are about the fact that exorbitantly wealthy people leverage their wealth to continue this system instead of working to dismantle it and enable the success of other people. The complaints aren't about luck, they're about the fact that luck isn't a good reason for them to be able to decide who lives and dies, who has medical care and who doesn't, who eats and who who starves. People shouldn't have that power over most of the world for no good fucking reason. And complaints about that are valid.
Bootlicking won't move you up in the world. And if you're a rich person writing this? Maybe you should listen to people's complaints and start working to make the world a better place for everyone instead of having everything, and still whining because your feelings got hurt because people don't like you perpetuating structural inequality so you can buy your 5th yacht >

lol communist >

Communism is to the right of where I am, sorry to frighten you. >

So you're the average reddit user? >

God if only. Where ARE my economic anarchists at? I feel like there are only capitalist bootlickers these days. >

Sounds better than being a commie >

So you're saying you're proud of being a bootlicker? >

Whoever your twisted minds call a bootlicker is a normal person. Whatever you like is a dystopia where the underperforming, dumb and/or lazy rule. >


Whoever your twisted minds call a bootlicker is a normal person. 

So bootlickers for an oligarchy are normal people?

Whatever you like is a dystopia where the underperforming, dumb and/or lazy rule.


I'm not a communist, if that's what you're implying.
Universal health care is dystopic? Decent wages for workers is dystopic? Workers' unions is dystopic?  
Speaking of underperforming and dumb, what's up with Elon Musk and his twitter acquisition? What's up with Mark Zuckerberg's metaverse? What's up with Sam Bankman-Fried's crypto exchange? There seems to be a lot of dumb underperforming billionaires.
Typical trite, cliched, uneducated, intellectually lazy conservative talking points. >

I think people need to stop whining in general >

Definitely! >

"Life isn't fair, so let's make it even more unfair than it is naturally!"
Brilliant logic. >

I don’t mind them being born into wealth, i do object to them then claiming to be self made millionaires. >

I know ... it's totally ridiculous, I mean... all those so-called "poor people" really don't know how easy they have it, just concerned about food or rent or whatever it is that concerns them. Really!
Just imagine how difficult it is, having to choose: skiing in Gstaad "again" or the Maldives .. OMG! it's just a living nightmare. >

Yeah, cause having media constantly following you, having everything you ever said put under a microscope or just be known as the rich person, having thousands upon thousand act as your friend just to get some of that money, having to do background searches on potential partners incase of a gold digger or a fucking TMZ reporter trying to get some inside info, having EVERYTHING you do in life be " Well thats cause he/she's rich ", you donate large sums of money to good causes and people say " Well, he/she could've given more, what an asshole ", and when you open up about mental health issues they're not a problem and they need to stop bitching cause said person has money, right ? >

It’s more when they act self made or their life is harder than others. Also when they are credited as successful people when in reality they just were born rich
I agree if they actually are normal human >

"the world is unfair" well here's a thought, what if we worked to make it more fair? >

Honestly this about sums up everything I have been trying to get out in paragraphs >


hances are you’re never gonna be dealt an as good hand of life as people who inherit billions, and no hard work sometimes wont even change that

Ok but then just admit that we live in a feudalistic society where people born into the right families get to be successful and those born in the wrong ones have to be the peasants. Don't pretend we live in a democracy, or that this is somehow capitalism where we let the people most deserving rise to the top. >

Exactly. Take my upvote. >

LMAO ... guys... OP is 15 years old >

So you are saying opinions of younger people are invalid? If that is true you are a terrible person. 
If that is not true what do you hope to achieve by calling someone a 15 year old? Are you hoping that the internet will join in on the laughing stock train because ‘look funny kid has an opinion’!!!!! You are literally the equivalent of a high school bully and even worse if you are an adult, furthermore you are a enough incel to go through someone else’s account and comment something completely irrelevant to the post. 
Also if you respond to this I will read it, however I likely won’t respond as arguing with people like you is a waste of time. >

Well I agree I don’t think it’s super valid but younger people tend to not have the same understanding of things as older people do.
But I’m not sure it applies to the current discussion >


But I’m not sure it applies to the current discussion

Yes, it does. Younger people (especially the ones who haven't entered the workforce yet) don't typically experience the real challenges in life. This kid is going to need a LOT more life experience before lecturing other people about whining about the unfairness in life. >

Never.
The richer you are the easier you have it. >

Most people don’t realize how rich they are compared to other people, rich people don’t realize that either 
Like if you’re middle class in a developed country you don’t think you’re super privileged because the people around you are just as privileged 
And if you’re in the elite you don’t think you’re privileged because the people around you are often times just as privileged 
Once you reach a certain point of wealth money becomes relative to what others have because you’ve got all you need to live comfortably >

I will bitch about them when they act like they’re so awesome and say stupid things about people without money because they have no idea how the real world is. >

Found the rich kid >

I don't know if he's rich, but he did practically admit he was 15. >

I'll stop whining when they stop actively killing the 99% of humanity to increase the amount of wealth they have >

Careful, you’ll hurt the communists feelings >

It’s the first line there that many deny. The arguments people have are about people thinking they’ve “earned” their money, and will be adamantly opposed to any form of charity (social security, etc.) as people should just pull their straps and earn some money like they did. 
Some whine just to whine. Not really productive but if it’s to vent and get out of their system, I think it’s ok. >

Same goes with looks. >

It's not jealousy. I don't want a dime from a billionaire. I want it to be divided up between the folks living under a concrete overpass for shelter because someone had the money to lobby for legislation saying they couldn't put up a tent anywhere to stabilize their lives enough to be able to get a job even if they're able and willing to get one. >

This might come as a surprise to you, but people have a right to be pissed that their taxes are going towards propping up the lifestyles of the wealthy. That's not jealousy. That's like calling it jealousy if someone enhances their car with parts they steal off yours and you're pissed about it. >

They also want things like "human rights" and "food". I feel like it's fine to be "jealous" about that shit. I really want to know what you guys get out of being on the side of the wealthy. I am just so baffled. Even when I considered myself more to the right, I still would never have blindly defended a rich person. It's something that just baffles me. There's no logic to it. >

I agree. Yes, it's unfair, but what good does whining about it do? Plus, money is not everything and someone simply being wealthy doesn't necessarily mean they are lucky have a great life. Look at the celebrities whose lives are in constant turmoil and turn to drugs, alcoholism, or even suicide. 
Life is mostly what you make of it, so make the best of what you have and don't focus on things you can't control.
