most people dont want to succeed they just want to subsist and pass the time shooting the shit with their friends, maybe find a wife if its not too much trouble. success is a meme. a bunch of tryhards decided for everyone else that its too sad or whatever to live in a shack or a tenement or a commie block, and then made it so that everyone has to strive for a middle class lifestyle because reasons. the people complaining arent actually asking for luxuries theyre asking for low income housing to become available again.
