A neurodivergent person posted in my local community group that they desperately needed food, and even posted a picture of an empty fridge with nothing but a tub of butter and some baking soda in it. There were plenty of people posting links to outreaches that could help, but there were also a few 50-65 year old white dudes saying, "Everywhere is hiring! How about you fill out some job applications instead of asking for handouts?"
I called one of the dudes out and told him that even if they got hired tomorrow, that won't put food in their fridge today. He said, "if they had been working, their fridge wouldn't be empty," and proceeded to call me a clueless millennial.
What the fuck do we do with these people? I hate sharing a world with fucks like these that don't carry a shred of empathy.
They're the last demographic who was able to sleep their way to success, so they feel the impending collapse of neoliberalism growing close. Pointing out to them that they'll be the next sacrifice distresses them greatly, because deep down they know that they have no real skills, no ability to learn or adapt, and no real wealth (only speculative assets like real estate, stock, and monkey jpegs).
Bullying them doesn't change things materially, but we can take a bit of catharsis in knowing that reading our posts is the worst thing that happened to them today.
EDIT: removed original comment, but I'll still stand by PMC jobs not requiring much actual skill after passing through the gatekeeping phase and getting "in."
That isnt the write emoji to use for this I dont think, theyre nonbinary and a lib not a chud
I'll edit my comment; sorry for my misread.
