This is, apparently, Shanin Blake. This is a picture from 2017.

Her parents are not rich.

Arguably, there's a lot to criticize her about, but her leading a carefree lifestyle and finding success in publicizing it doesn't seem like one.

    Trustafarian is an absolutely brilliant insult.

    Trust fund isn't middle class.

    You're on ML, rabidly hating the rich should be your thing.

    mm... well I hate billionaires for being exploitative and shit. And I'd like to see their money shared around. But a trust fund is something that one is given by the circumstances of their birth, not something one needs to be an exploitative asshole for. Perhaps their parents are exploitative assholes, sure, but why would I hate somebody just for being born into privilege?

    That's far too reasonable a viewpoint, you'll get banned from your instance talking like that.

    I.. I don't understand what is happening here. You are the one who is advocating insulting people for having a trust fund, but you're saying I'm too reasonable because I disagree?

    Anyway, if you think I'd be banned for that opinion, you might have misunderstood something something about our philosophy. Karl Marx grew up in a wealthy family, after all.

    Has anyone seen real dreadlocks before? These are obviously not real. Maybe she's not trying to pass them off as real, idk.

    Wanna bet that whoever latches onto the image to jam their lazy uninformed truthiness (as Stephen Colbert coined the term) narrative into, uses the same kind of lazy uninformed truthiness narrative
