Systemic Issues
(Jack) knew he wanted me and he knew he was defacto buying sex from women who didn't much like him. And giving me money felt icky to him and felt to him like taking the first step towards exchanging his current girlfriend for a new one.This was absolutely nothing I wanted to be any part of our relationship though I desperately needed money.
Patrick McKenzie is a con artist. I've said that recently and supported that assertion. I stand by that claim and my extreme outrage to the point of tears that it's monstrous bullshit that everyone acts like I'm some deluded nutter and whiny bitch for saying 10,000 times that my gender is a factor in my poverty.
Thomas is an ass. I documented previously that he never replied to my email though my remarks helped secure his position at the top of the leaderboard.
In that same post, I talk at length about how Patrick shafted me repeatedly and I stand by my outrage that he would do me so dirty without cause. He also actually answered my email unlike Thomas and recommended a writing service where I earned small amounts of money while homeless and deathly ill and wholly incapable of holding down a regular job and I spent years hesitating to drag him for his clearly shitty behavior because everyone on Hacker News was stepping over my body in the gutter and saying "Not my problem, bitch. Stop whining and get a real job."
That post also talks about Colin Wright and I wish Thomas, Patrick and Colin would all three go die in a fire. They are all three virtue-signaling Christian dirt bags.
And Thomas remains the top guy on the forum by a country mile and maybe would like to burn Patrick to cover his ass though Thomas was too fucking stupid to realize Patrick wasn't a real businessman when he partnered with him and Thomas's first business was successful largely because of the unrecognized contributions of his programmer wife, Erin, who was initially working elsewhere at a job with benefits, making it possible for him to found a company without needing to cover medical benefits for his family.
Erin comes from a working class family. Thomas comes from money. Erin had survival skills her pampered husband lacked.
Thomas sucks less than Patrick in some ways and more in others and this asshole is the guy with 4 quintllion karma whose shit all you people love eating all day, everyday and can't get enough of while imagining he's a real businessman and simultaneously seeing zero irony in lauding him while telling me I'm dirt poor because I waste too much time on Hacker News.
Colin Wright has a PhD in math and he's probably worth like $300 million. He's probably the richest person to ever exchange emails with me.
He's loathsome in the extreme. He knows how to invest his inheritance to preserve his millions and live off it and that might be why he majored in math because he failed his first attempt to finish his phd.
He has absolutely no means whatsoever to replace his millions and I think he was hoping his wife would conveniently die so he wouldn't have to split the estate in an ugly divorce while wanting to marry me.
Like the quote about Jack at the start of this post, he likely knew he was buying sex from his good Christian virtue signaling ho of a wife whose father likely had money and she probably never really liked Colin. He once suggested to me he's probably kind of aspie and so good with people.
So he treats poor people like defacto slaves. He needs their labor as working staffs at day jobs to keep his portfolio paying for his lifestyle.
He misrepresented himself to me when I asked his help in trying to establish an earned income and tried to answer my questions as if he was qualified to do so.
I ended up turning his bizarre hobby into a real job, something he probably never had before, and he never thanked me nor did anything to in any way pay me back.
Probably he didn't really know how.
Male culture starts with the idea that you are nothing and need to prove your value. Female culture starts out treating everyone as equals, deserving of respect and belonging, then tears you down to see what survives.
Exchanging emails with Colin while I was homeless and everyone else on both Metafilter and Hacker News treated me like absolute shit helped save my sanity during a difficult time in my life where I was addressing health issues the world claims cannot be addressed.
These people are awful people who did me dirty. And they are no worse than the rest of you jackasses who also stepped over my body in the gutter and didn't befriend me and didn't help me figure out how to support myself.
I'm not thrilled with the possibility that these three absolute assholes may get punished and scapegoated not because Patrick is, in fact, a goddamned con artist and his shit writing shouldn't be promoted all over the internet but because then you can tell yourselves your hands are clean and you aren't part of the problem.
I desperately wish I were healthy enough to get a waitressing job and wash my hands of the internet entirely.
Donald Trump is probably much like Colin Wright. He inherited wealth. He's an incompetent putz who rigged the election because he has no idea how to earn anything legitimately.
I have absolutely no idea how to make my life work, much less fix this giant mess and this post is absolutely not begging for compassion and forgiveness for Thomas, Patrick or Colin much less the pukeworthy monster cosplaying president of the United States.
I'm just leery of hanging a few people high and pretending that fixes systemic issues it doesn't fix. I hope after you assholes murder me via poverty while pretending I somehow I deserved this, someone contemplates systemic issues and what to do about a world producing people like Trump and then kissing his corrupt ass "because he's rich!"
