Here’s a suggestion, Chara & Frisk: this is a big, heavy thing for the two of you to deal with on your own. You should get some adults involved - Toriel and Asgore, at least. I wish you luck!
I see a lot of posts that boil down to, “hey, poor people, the middle class is your ally, not your enemy!” but I never seem to see posts that say “hey, middle class, the poor people in your city are your allies. You’re never going to be rich, so stop selling out the poor in an attempt to maintain your own social standing.”
Like, if I as a person living in poverty am skeptical and wary of the middle class neighborhood down the road, it’s because they keep proving to me that they want to throw me and my neighbors under the fucking bus so they can pretend they’ll be Bezos-rich one day.
I’m tired of seeing really condescending “the middle class is not your enemy!” posts when I never see “people living in poverty are justified in their rage, because living in poverty is a FUCKING NIGHTMARE” posts.
If me being tired of eating rice and ramen noodles for six months straight makes me vent-post about how tired I am of driving past cookie-cutter middle class houses on my way back to my 900 square foot apartment with six people living in it, I get dogpiled by people telling me that the middle class is not my enemy.
And that’s fucked.
“We have to band together to fight our real enemy, the rich” is what you should be telling the middle class jackasses who keep looking at people in poverty and going “ew, icky,” NOT the poor people looking at the middle class and saying, “yeah, they’re parroting all the same shit that the rich are, and I don’t fucking trust that they won’t sell me out the second my back is turned.”
hey full transparency i added a bunch of edgy options as a joke but some of you are Actually Getting The Joker as a result and i would Love if you stayed away from me <3
Hell yeah! thats my second favourite clown aesthetic!
