@BALUCIAGA One reduces poor people to helpless victims with no agency, the other treats them like they can do no wrong just because they’re disadvantaged
people in poverty are still fully capable of analysis, bad decisions, good decisions, and political judgmen.
@TateTheTalisman there’s truth in accepting that not everyone has good intentions
you don’t need to obsess over people or try to fix them, but you also don’t have to become cold or disengaged from everyone
the balance is simple notice, protect your space, and move on without carrying bitterness
@mindsetmachine yeah
it’s less about aggression, more about standards
once someone gets strict with their own habits and stops negotiating with themselves, their results usually shift too
@heismric you can care about business, money, relationships, growth… at the same time. the problem starts when you start muting half of life just because one part looks louder
wealth doesn’t cancel relationships. it just changes what you tolerate and what you prioritize
@rirokpik Slavery was absolutely brutal and dehumanising on a massive scale there’s no need to soften that. But turning it into “older Black..... is just too broad and inaccurate.
It’s better to separate the real historical atrocities from blanket statements about entire groups today.
@_Pammy_DS_ you just stop having energy for pointless arguments and people who drain you
not because you’re weak, but because your peace starts to matter more than being right or proving a point
