Every other young guy is trying to start a dropship business because they heard on instagram/tiktok that it can get you rich fast. It's a plague. I had guys come to me through work after losing their job saying they are now going to try dropshipping for a year. I can't really prevent them from doing so but I always tell them to really give it a second thought before they drop their savings into setting up a business.

Dropshipping is risky because it's associated with content farms selling wishdotcomium crap

I think it's important to point out that entrepreneurship is the liberal answer for worker discontent. It's an argument against joining/forming a union. Instead of fighting for better salaries and oppression, the liberals convince the workers that the solution, is for them to become the oppressors by opening a business. Instead of fighting oppression, the liberal solution is to instead replicating it, but with you on top.

My generation was brainwashed by gamergate shit, and we're healing from it. This tiktok entrepreneur trend will do its damage like every internet plague but contrary to culture war they're going to realise the bs even faster because it's going to actually affect their material wealth

Yeah. Especially sad when Gamergate showed gamers DO have bargaining power, all of which wasted
