That opportunity to get ahead by hard work is gone

I think this is really bullshit. It's harder than it was, absolutely. But you can do it, it just takes sacrifices which people these days seem to want none of.

You always hear about people's grand/parents moving to some town and starting a life. And it's viewed romantically but in reality, it was likely a sacrifice.

Earning $15k above the median salary with a partner earning minimum wage, I managed to save enough for a house deposit in about 18 months. With nothing but a diploma I got in 12 months. It sucked, I never went out, cooked nearly every night and had very few indulgences. I moved over an hour away from where I grew up and I had no help. This is in one of the top 10 expensive property cities in the world.

It can be done, don't be so negative.

But it is.

It's irresponsible to put into young girls minds that some fuckwit saying a political slogan equates to a rape threat and you should assault them.

She's literally telling people to feel safe committing an offence.

I'm sure many people will disagree with me, go for your lives, but I'm not talking about the slogan or choice, I'm saying if someone says 4 words to you and you attack them, you will be held legally responsible.

Aren't they all motivated by wealth and greed?

The funny part is that he's looking down on them and encourages you to do so too.

From wiki

The Iron Dream is a metafictional 1972 alternate history novel by American author Norman Spinrad. The book has a nested narrative that tells a story within a story. On the surface, the novel presents a post-apocalyptic adventure tale entitled Lord of the Swastika, written by an alternate-history Adolf Hitler shortly before his death in 1953. In this timeline, Hitler emigrated from Germany to the United States in 1919 after the Great War, and used his modest artistic skills to become first a pulp science fiction illustrator and later a successful writer, telling lurid, purple-prosed, pro-fascism stories under a thin science fiction veneer. The nested narrative is followed by a faux scholarly analysis by a fictional literary critic, Homer Whipple, which is said to have been written in 1959.
