Frustration living in capitalism

Frustration is being born to two middle children of two capitalist families. Frustration is seeing your dads older brother inherit the family business, leaving your dad to fend for himself in a small rural farming town with little to no other options. Leaving your father in such a depressive state to the point he isn't even a father to any of his kids. Frustration is seeing your mom's younger brother inherit the family business, while she's left to fend for herself in a small rural farming community. Frustration is knowing your mom was the first in her family to receive a post high school education as an accountant, yet had no input in the family business, and was PAID as if she were any other bookkeeper, while her brother is “president” making some unknown multiple of what she was.

Frustration is seeing your dads older brother inherit the family business, leaving your dad to fend for himself in a small rural farming town with little to no other options. Leaving your father in such a depressive state to the point he isn't even a father to any of his kids. Frustration is seeing your mom's younger brother inherit the family business, while she's left to fend for herself in a small rural farming community. Frustration is knowing your mom was the first in her family to receive a post high school education as an accountant, yet had no input in the family business, and was PAID as if she were any other bookkeeper, while her brother is “president” making some unknown multiple of what she was. Frustration is growing up, borrowing 100k for an education, and graduating to make $40k a year, only to see your uneducated family members, with no student loans and who are your same age buying million dollar homes on a lake. Frustration is having these golden spoon fed fucks being so goddamn self righteous, they actually think they are the reason they're “winning” in America, and you have to watch their bullshit on social media without absolutely destroying them from a logical standpoint. The ultimate frustration is being the 17 year old son of a single mom, and getting a phone call that she has died of a massive heart attack, and now after another 20 years of trudging on, you know the stress from her family was the main cause.

I needed to get this off my chest for years now. Thank you for reading.
