MASSIVE BIG BREAKING: there are poor people on nostr too.

I know because when I say poor to them, they become touchy and aggresive afterwards. Wealthy people just don't care.

I totally agree with you but I said it to make a finer point.

We don’t typically know much about folks when chatting virtually where as if I knew you from work or whatever, Id have a ton of hints about you.

-Previous conversations

-The way you dress

-The way you look (tattoos/jewelry/piercings etc)

Online you take things at face value when in reality, you might be extremely dismissive of someone yelling at you from a nearby dumpster. Just something to think about.

You probably don't know but in Turkey pretty much everyone is poor. Ofc I know that I am also not wealthy compared to many but trust me I don't make those comments for people what I dunno much about.

Also I haven't bought pants for the last decade so there is no way for someone to understand my financial situation.

These are just WORDS. I can say things here that I can't say in real life. If someone gets upset from what I say, it is sooo fine from my pov you wouldnt believe. Lets not offend from letters&words that we read.

Instead just think about what you just read.

Poor is an identity. I know people who call themselves poor. They'll never have money because it contradicts their identity.

I've had a low income for most of my life, but I never identified as poor. My son's friend made fun of my old Toyota. When people think I'm poor, but it makes me feel like Clark Kent.

I bet some people look at Jack Dorsey and think, "How sad. This guy with this huge beard can't even afford a pair of shoes." 🤣
