I'm tired of my shitty life. I have dreams and ambitions, and I want nothing more than to grind my ass off day and night to achieve them.
Unfortunately, there is literally nothing that can be done these days to improve your lot in life. There is no clear-cut path one can take to success. There is nothing to grind in the first place. Effort is not the bottleneck that everyone makes it out to be, and I don't think it ever was.

I want to go up to the next smug faggot I see sitting atop a social pedestal, grab him by the ankle, and throw him off said pedestal. This kind of fantasy is obviously abstract to the point of absurdity; its just not how the world works.

I want the opportunity to try my competence against those in positions of even mild power. If they're better than me, then so be it, at least I'd be where I deserve, but I don't even have the chance to compete with those over me or even beside me, and that's what pisses me the fuck off.

I'm tired of being relegated to unproductiveness. I can do more!

i think someone already had that idea. if not, most people are so bitter they wouldn't acknowledge your successes anyway. only pre-approved people can succeed because it's less psychologically damaging for the majority. you will never be rewarded for being a fringe outsider, the best you can get is being someone who caters to the fringe but actually takes a big shit on them by drawing breath

Not quite sure what you mean by this, but I think this is how things got this way in the first place. At some point, many, many years ago, people realized they could effortmax their way to prosperity. Then everyone started doing that and it ceased to be a viable route due to oversaturation.

>most people are so bitter they wouldn't acknowledge your successes anyway
I don't need that. I just need to do shit I care about.

>only pre-approved people can succeed
It's not even that. Nobody wants anybody else to succeed, because it lessens the value of their own success. It really comes down to luck, the luck of stumbling into a position where you actually do have a clear shot upwards that you can climb by simply working really, really hard.

Truth is there always is a clear cut path its just hard and not everyone is suited for it,what this path is depends on the city and country but the path does exist.
Doctor is a nobrainer for instance.

Trying to become a doctor isn't anywhere near a clear cut path to success.
Assuming you don't get rejected rom med school in the first place because "sorry, we're full", you still have to roll the dice for getting a good internship, then again for a residency program, and then you're still out there applying for jobs like anybody else.
And of course this is only if you could afford all that schooling in the first place.

This is no clearer a path to success telling someone to learn2code and be picked up by a fortune500 company.
