    i think the part that i hate the most about this is that when they can finally afford something, its a big achievement (“conquista!”) only working to the bone could have brought.

    even being able to buy their basic motorcycles instead of renting is rationalized as them winning in life.

    i know many many people like this. it confuses and upsets me to no end.
