Broke People Shouldn't Watch TV

[Black Panther]

It's a dumb take considering it may be free to watch sports on TV

I get the gist of what he's trying to say, but shaming people for consuming entertainment is wild.

It comes from the toxic productivity/hustle p*rn part of motivational speaking that urges people to grind themselves down to the bone in a way that benefits people like him, for [often] no tangible benefit. He may work hard, but you know damn well he ain't working nearly as hard as the people he employs.

It makes no allowances for common socioeconomic barriers, family challenges, depression, neurodivergent thinkers, or people dealing with other health challenges that you can't "hustle" your way out of. (I'd bet big money that he also thinks ADHD isn't real, Shift Work Sleep Disorder is an excuse, people who live in poor areas "should just move", and people struggling with depression should "try to think positive".)

Tired of all these "gurus" lol

So basically, unless you’re wealthy you don’t deserve to have any level of joy in life

See this is why we need a real revolution in this country like the French did back in the day. Some people need to have their houses set on fire and beat up in the streets

No he said if you're broke you don't. There's several levels between wealthy and broke, it's not black and white.

What I got from what he said is if you're broke, you need to be trying to figure out how to come up instead of "wasting your time" watching tv

The question should be what's his definition of broke. Not being wealthy doesn't mean someone is broke

Did he say this at a paid seminar?

I hate this...because I should be selling holy farts and making a killing, given how almost every talking head is selling bullshyt. Media in general is a way to escape and fulfillment.

When I'm watching Futbol, I'm not thinking about the blind corruption, the fukked up territories that rely on gambling, the mafia, and human trafficking, I'm thinking about GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.

No different from a Coli breh watching Football, despite it being slavery with a handegg, full of racists coaches and owners, and dumb rock brained players running into each other for CTE dreams and suicidal wishes.

The argument of broke people need to be miserable and focus is obnoxious, because once you get the money...then what?

• Spend it all and go broke
• Invest in shyt and end up fumbling
• Be overly paranoid because one false move you are back in the gutter
• Trust issues and etc
• Family destruction and potential malice intent for the riches

I say this numerous times, but I would be a thousandnaire and happy. I'm talking the ability to have a cozy crib, my son going into an art school since he drives me nuts about cartoons and etc, my wife not have to worry about the pain she constantly goes through as a Fibromyalgia victim, and knowing that I'm having fun and enjoying what's left of my life...as I barely had a childhood from the jump.

I would rather die empty and free, versus being an old ass coot making viral videos telling folks to be miserable and rich.

And here I am thinking he was going to make a rational argument like "broke people shouldn't be spending money on cable. The cost is way too high and instead they should use streaming services or rent Blu rays or stream videos at the library for free"

What I got was a bitter, joyless individual who thinks his cynicism and disdain for the poor is some kind of "tough love".


It's two type of rich people who escaped poverty:
1. The type who empathize with the poor because they've been there before and remember how the few times they got a break in life made such a difference to their wellbeing.

2. The type who think they're the main character in life and that if they could escape poverty anyone can and other people are just lazy and don't want to be financially stable. The only reason they are struggling is because they don't care.

Enjoyment and having a good time , should be exclusively for people with money.

[TRUEST]

I'm not broke, but this is a dumb take. Everyone needs a distraction.

Yes. But people stretch miles out of that distraction. Honestly if you’re an avid sports fan obsessed with 2 or more different sports, it’s you he’s talking about.

What if you’re an avid sports fan that has his house/family in order, but isn’t necessarily “rich?”

I rarely watch TV so, but I still don’t really agree with him.
