To explain in case you are serious, IMO I think they’re meaning you can obviously articulate the point to which you came from where you originated class-wise, and explain in detail at that.
But the “sucker” aspect is to point out how, even if we can find a way, the “game” itself seems to lead many to devolve into an existential thought-process of ‘what is the point,’ when it’s much harder now-a-days to get to ANY point of success like a couple of previous generations were able to (those in their 50s+). If a person still believes that “winning” at the game is still important, then they already lost. Or they’re just a bit bitter and using a mocking tone… hard to interpret tone in text.
It isn’t in me to play that game. I’m not out here pretending success matters in any permanent way. They’re gonna scatter my ashes the same as anyone else’s and I’m not playing the game.
Now, if I could keep it all for eternity, I’d eat you guys alive to get it. I can’t though, so I’m just gonna ride the rock until I die and help any fellow sufferer I can who feels like I do about it.
My millionaire uncle is 500 times as miserable as me and he’s on vacation every weekend. I’m not running a race to nowhere.
But hey, you do you. If success means something to you, who am I to knock it just because I don’t get it? You don’t step on my nuts and I won’t step on yours. That’s how I roll.
All guys. Everyone. I made that clear. I’d be immortal. The resources I collect would actually matter then. How much success I have would matter then. I’d get to keep it, because I wouldn’t jusy turn around and die after playing the social vampire game to get it.
I don’t hate you. I made my position pretty clear. We aren’t immortal and I’m not gonna be out here in a constant battle for success or resources just to collect it and die.
Common misconception actually. Moriori are an offshoot of Māori, most likely Ngai Tahu, who arrived in Aotearoa during the same migration period as everyone else.
He should have used his available sick days, what’s the point of fighting for rights if no one uses them?
His foolish stoicism did nothing but benefit a corporation, endanger the public, and make it less acceptable for his colleges to take sickdays when required.
