About privilege (The one who claims to see no flesh but only sees flesh)

"You tell me it's racism / sexism if I talk bad about a person whose skin is darker than mine / who has different fuck habits than me?
Who's talking here all the fucking time "He needs to be preferred because he's from a marginalized social group"?
You know what? If somebody really belongs to a couple of these groups that you call "minorities", you won't even recognize him 'cause you're so caught up in your world of cliches what all of them need to be like! You ever asked one of them what they really want? No, you just think you've found the philosophers' stone and therefore you know all of their pains, all of their needs and all of their wants! And you think they're all one homogeneous mass, like there's no variation between them!
Where's the fucking shit of "everyone forges his own fortune" that you grew up with? Where does all the money come from that you spend every day? You really think that destiny is that tightly set?
Then why don't you give up all your lifestyle and donate it to one of the people you say that they need it much more than you?! If you think you're so privileged, you gonna acquire it back in no time and your life won't be like shit 'cause you're a white cis-gender whore that passes so well in this society..."

Yeah, life on Earth... Too much enthusiastic, excitement overwhelming, blood is bubbling in the veins to know what chemicals a new working day will bring! )) I remember working for pennies on our local rich pharmaceutical company making insulin - it was sometime funny but never financial adequate. Now there are youngsters are leaving their health with twice much salary and twice cheaper Ruble... veeery exciting!

"The truth is: Every entity in this world wants to make a profit of you. Of your time, your physical power, your belief - everything."

Yes, though I don't see it is a problem - you had come to this world and society and parents were caring about you were spending energy, efforts on you and after you had grown up to have to pay the bill, we are the bees of a kind and have not only to consume but make something worthless of our being. The frustration I am getting goes mostly when you work on somebody you are full time involved but you are not getting much after, all the mistakes of people up are summarising and from up to down you are getting the less is possible. To get up in any structure demands not to be the wisest but the cleverest, the ruthless to push everybody from your way up and it is not the end to get up to some more profitable position you have to spend more energy to stay there than on real work. Making money or doing something real in big companies is always like this for me nowadays and I still believe it is possible using your own brains and energy having your own business and making deserving profit. I will try at near future and I have ideas though of course it is difficult if ever possible to compete with big companies cause they are never playing honest and all the system of laws working to ensure you it is useless and you have to give up and go back to plant working as slave for food... What is about ruthless reality we ate living in, I don't know I am still an optimist and the years behind are my allies, I still posses an enthusiasm to make something new, to believe in future which certainly will not be an easy one but I do believe it will be interesting as a scene to fight, to think, to study.

"This seemed somewhat masochistic from me to do, if I know the final result already years before..."

Yes, absolutely but clever rich guys are also know their business - if suddenly the people like you and at least at the moment me will outnumber the common workers full to ears in debts, bright plans and so on to work from hand to mouth, the rich ruling fuckers will start something which will give them an opportunity to force you do what they like in prison, or they will start a war o clean up the countries and everything will stars again with new currency, financial pyramid and too bright future for the youngsters with very possible drugs for free...

I don't know a guy you've mentioned but can say that I am afraid to read mentally ill persons, I'd heard that working with them is bit by bit reconstruct your own mentality, it is why psychologists or doctors change the patients. I am not very touchy but prefer to consume info from inspiring me people. Was reading Buddhism for example in my youth and had consume many interesting ideas which are helping a lot through all my years...
