I’m so sick and tired of libs demanding that students juggle scholarship applications, working, studying, and fucking starving in order to get through college.

Y’know what? I don’t think students should have to fucking work during school and it is fcked up that we’ve normalized grinding people into dust in order to achieve an education.

Oh, and fuck you if you have a learning disability and can’t do both school and work. Guess it’s poverty for you, buddy.

      America in particular has ingrained into its people this insidious notion that poverty is voluntary. Those people who need food stamps? Bums, all of them, they just don’t care enough to get better paying jobs.

      Circumstances such as the socioeconomic status you were raised in, physical/mental health, your ethnicity are completely irrelevant (hell, sometimes ethnicity is used as a means of insisting that is why someone is ‘lazy’, rather then reflecting on how a person’s race impacts the entire manner in which society interacts with them)
