Sure, if you're privileged enough to have a remote job and you're comfortable with getting a cheaper lifestyle through what essentially amounts to neocolonialism. But what about everyone else?

    I know people from every country I've been to who are full-time travelers, including those you apparently consider "underprivileged", an epithet they would be offended by.

    If an identical car costs $2,000 at one dealership and $20,000 at another, I'll buy the $2,000 one. You pay whatever you want.

    Check your assumptions.

    I'm underprivileged, and I'm not offended by the truth. You need to check your assumptions.

    Oh, so you're just a troll? I looked at you "community" And it's just you and you deleting things you don't agree with. That's not a community. Maybe you were trying to start a blog and got lost?

    Anybody who would be offended by being referred to as underprivileged needs to be slapped in the face. It’s like being offended because somebody said you were running late. You either are running late or you aren’t, getting offended because somebody doesn’t understand your situation is just dumb.

    You want to slap underprivileged people you're insulting for understanding the world differently than you.

    Executing your self-righteous violence without repercussion from your position of...what's the word...

    Slapping those you've insulted will not convince them you were right.

    Stop letting other people‘s opinions live rent free in your head. That was my point. If you get insulted because of somebody else’s opinion that’s your problem not their problem.

    Worse though, saying that underprivileged is an insult is an insult to everybody who is underprivileged.

    You're advocating abuse and blaming your victims for being insulted by your insults.

    They're different than you; their differences don't warrant your abuse.

    No, I’m talking about the same people you’re talking about. I don’t have any victims. You are the one who has friends who would be “offended by that epithet”. And since you aren’t taking this conversation seriously I will bid you good day.

    Why are you still asking me questions and talking to me?

    Where do you think a Lemmy user you are interacting with on Lemmy will go?

    You understand that that’s a two-way street right? You don’t get to keep responding and then ask why other people are still responding.

    But here’s the bottom line; your original comment currently has more down votes than up votes, you can either admit that saying that underprivileged is an insult is an insult to the underprivileged or you can keep being a dumbass but those are your only two options.

    You're messaging me specifically and asking me questions. I'm answering your messages.

    It’s so interesting to me how you keep choosing the dumbass option.

    Now you’re just reaching, this is a public forum nobody is messaging anybody. You decided to act like a dumbass in a public forum and now you can’t handle being called out for it.

    If it’s alright then stop posting. But now you’re also just changing your comments after I respond to them so you’re not even trying to post here in good faith what is even the point of continuing to post then?
