My moral superiority is class S!
In America, we've perfected the moral superiority contest. We talk about how hard we had it, maybe embellishing a bit- smooth over the help from the rents, the good health you enjoyed, etc- while beating others about the head about how they only worked part time when you worked full time while you were in school.
Instead of us all banding together, saying hey, this system isn't working for anyone, we make it into a contest of who can do the most before they break down and crack. But when we break down, who will catch us? We can't catch others from a place of superiority.
But everyone is losing out. The people who break down and drop out. The people who would have benefited from the creativity and talent of those who aren't strong but have something to say. The children who feel the stress of their caretakers. The employers that get lower quality work.
We're not machines. We're human. When we realize this, we can work for a system that everyone can do their best in.

LOL, more Nazi Germany references. Dudes, dudes, let me explain the internet to you! Now, sometimes you'll hear about laws such as Tubman's, Snacky's and Godwin's. The point of Tubman's and Godwin's are to prevent you from comparing whatever minor crap is annoying you at this second to the Holocaust or Slavery(Tubman's also prevents you from comparing typing out songs from Pirates of the Carribean to the Civil Rights movement, a movement in which thousands of people, black and white, risked and sometimes gave their lives to fight real racial injustice). Why is livejournal deleting journals/the mod giving you the banhammer/someone disagreeing with you not as bad as the Holocaust or Slavery? You see, during the Holocaust, millions were uprooted from their homes, had their civil rights abused, had horrible medical experiments done on them, and were murdered in cold blood. Slavery was less efficient, but over hundreds of years, people were beaten, raped, robbed of basic human rights and killed. No matter what it was, it probably has no comparison to either.
Snacky's Law is against comparing people to the mean girls in high school. The truth is that nobody cares. Suck it up.
