Thread 60764771

I don't understand why people speak with respect of rich people they personally know. "oh he's this and that". and people get angry at me when I don't show the same reverence. they think it's because I've a chip on my shoulder. why am I supposed to have reverence for rich people, how does them having money help me? I just don't get it.

People have their tongue up rich peoples ass because they're hoping they will be given some crumbs

>>60764771 (OP)
Because having money implies they are either really smart or really hot. Knowing rich people also gives others the assumptions that you share some traits with them, as they are/were in the same tribe at one point. I doubt they are actually getting angry unless you are being autistic.

I worked on a big team for a very wealthy client and we would have these meetings with everybody(like 20 people) and the client would make these terrible jokes and everyone would force laugh and clap like retards

>>60764771 (OP)
I think it has to do with people recognizing that the "rich" person has accomplished something in life.
(built a business, made wise investments, are generally smarter then the average person) you don't need to lick rich peoples asses but you should recognize greatness if it has been achieved.

Sorry OP with the outlook you have & clear chip on your should you are NGMI.

You're never going to get the answer you seek on /biz/ because it's full of a bunch of disrespectful literal niggers who think they are better than others.

>>60764875
No. Just not working class.
>>60764892
Why should I respect a full grown man who has a job and especially a low status job which 90% of men have?

>>60764892
I AM better than others.
I am retired at 30.

>>60764801
I am not saying they are not accomplished I don't understand how their accomplishments help me so I don't give a fuck.

if a rich person gifts me a million dollars that's one hell of a rich person, he's awesome. if he's not I don't give a shit. isn't this just common sense?

>>60766756
They obviously don't help you- do you look at all people with the mindset of "how can this person help me?" or "what can I take from this person?"
It sounds like you go out of your way to be deliberately disrespectful to someone who is in a better socioeconomic position then you.

Originates from Protestant Reformation theology, particularly Calvinism.

Calvinists believed in predestination — that God has already chosen who will be saved. You can’t change your fate, but your behavior might reflect whether you are among the chosen.

Because wealth and success could be interpreted as signs of God’s blessing, people worked hard, avoided idleness, and reinvested profits instead of spending lavishly.

Over time, this ethic fed into capitalist values: thrift, productivity, and viewing work as a moral duty.

Key literature & thinkers

Max Weber – The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism (1905) – The most famous work connecting Protestant religious values with the rise of capitalism in Europe.

John Calvin – Institutes of the Christian Religion (1536) – The theological backbone for Calvinist ideas about work, morality, and predestination.

Richard Baxter – Christian Directory (1673) – Puritan moral guidance stressing industry and stewardship of wealth for God’s glory.

Benjamin Franklin – Writings like Poor Richard’s Almanack – Secularized version of the ethic: thrift, industriousness, time management.

Cotton Mather – Puritan preacher who linked diligence to godliness in colonial America.

we are better, you have no idea how great it is to be free

>>60764771 (OP)
Well, do you do the poor mindset shit of "meh, nobody needs that" whenever something NEW comes up? stop that. You're family expects you to act like a kike and FIND a way to siphon money off him.

>>60767565
this....you are failing, that is what they see. Not a rich person you dislike. They only see YOU accepting failure.

>>60764892
I am free, assume u are a wagie otherwise u wouldn't make such a retarded post. You ever know what it feels like to watch the 5PM rush hour & feel pity for those angry drivers stuck in traffic?

No, cause you are the one stuck in traffic kek.

Based

Thing is people just have a natural nose for money, and people with money go wafting it around trying to catch others on the scent.

And then they go on about trying to get little pieces of it. By flattery and convenience and warmth and love or whatever the hell else. Rich guys foster the idea that they might break off a piece at any time, even though they never do.

Thing is what you have to be is clearly unswayed by those false promises (this will be the first distinguishing feature) because you know better. Then what you need is a specialized skill. You don't wait for a dusting of crumbs to fall off, you show up with a hammer and a chisel to take a real meaningful piece of it.

>They obviously don't help you- do you look at all people with the mindset of "how can this person help me?" or "what can I take from this person?"

To an extent, yes, and that's how rich people operate, and it's actually how they expect you to operate. Rich people walk around all day every day thinking "Can this person help me?" and if the answer is no, to hell with them.

The correct way to look at a rich person is "How can this person help me?" and if the answer is no, TO HELL WITH THEM.

>>60766756
Their accomplishments aren't meant to help you, it's supposed to be a status flex to the person that told you. Usually with normies if you tell someone you know a rich and/or famous person they will treat you differently EVEN IF you yourself aren't rich or famous. Just knowing them puts you in a different bracket.

>>60764771 (OP)
its hard to make money faggot. Thats why

>>60767571
Hey, you're pretty retarded you might want to get that checked out.

>>60764771 (OP)
stop speaking to people

>>60767539
Not even a catholic but this shift from spirituality and using religion as a way to soothe the inherent human existential fear was when the meaning of christianity was lost.

kek. That morning and rush hour road rage is real. In the morning, every one is mad and went through the same humiliation ritual before going into the car and after work, every is mad their day is over.

>>60764771 (OP)
Most rich people become this way because they have rich family money or lucked the fuck out in some way. The idea that every rich person got there through merit is idiotic. I would say only 10-20% actually overcame major setbacks in life and got rich through sheer hard work and grit. Most self made rich were simply in the right place at the right time

>>60767773
Look at this thread. Or go to /antiwork.
Poor people have terrible attitudes.

So much shit talking. Show me your fancy desktop computer. Or lower end watch.

You live in a world run by jewish communists who have permeated your society with foreign afroasiatic values of money-worship and stock-exchange slavery. If you want this to change then read unironically Mein Kampf and act accordingly.

>I would say only 10-20% actually overcame major setbacks in life and got rich through sheer hard work and grit.

And how does that compare to the general population?

Follow your passion. The money will come.

>>60767594
I mean that's how most people look at others, that isn't exclusive to just rich people.
It's human nature for the majority of people.

>>60767773
> just wait 40 years bro
>>60768947
They have terrible attitudes because having no money means you'll lose your shelter, food, basically your very means of survival. If you were poor like them, you wouldn't resolve to live like them and instead jump off the edge of the Grand Canyon.
