Sympathize with the Poor? Hell no!

I’ll be blunt: I don’t feel sorry for the poor—except for children and the elderly. In most cases, poverty is a direct result of laziness, intellectual deficiency, or both. No wise man should squander his resources on those who will remain a net negative to society.

For too long, we’ve prioritized their needs at the expense of personal and national progress. How many hours have you wasted in school rehashing information you already knew because someone else either couldn’t—or wouldn’t—keep up? This same misplaced generosity infects every aspect of life.

Society continuously drains the intelligent and productive to sustain the lazy and primitive. So why are they granted equal rights? Why do their votes and opinions hold the same weight as those who build, create, and innovate?

Let’s be honest: If you’re broke in 2025—an era where 18-year-old girls make staggering amounts of money from home playing video games—something is fundamentally wrong with you. It’s not God, Satan, or any celestial force holding you back. It’s your genetics, your habits, and your refusal to work.

Worse yet, we’ve swallowed the delusion that the rich are evil while the poor are merely victims. But tell me, who’s more likely to engage in crime—the man with wealth and options or the one with nothing to lose? The difference is simple: When a billionaire slaps someone, it’s front-page news because outrage sells. When a desperate bum does the same—or worse—no one cares.

Enough of this nonsense about automatic empathy for the impoverished. The worst thing you can do to another person is convince them they’re helpless without you. Dependency is a choice. Almost anyone can grow, transform, and get things done.
