How could you possibly interpret what I wrote as an exhortation against the poor? Should I specifically explicate the groups that this exhortation is targeted

How could you possibly interpret what I wrote as an exhortation against the poor?
Should I specifically explicate the groups that this exhortation is targeted to?
Use your judgement based on the content and context instead of requiring me to think for you and fully solve all of the questions you might have.
Do you own a Ferrari? Are you taking the Delta flight? Can you extrapolate from those two examples of egregious veblen good luxuries (Veblen himself writkng a thourough exhortation himself!) to think of other ones which do or do not apply to you and then you determine whether that applies?

- misnome 3y agoNo, “Don’t complain about the state of the world unless you are actively fixing it” is _explicitly_ excluding everyone who isn’t wealthy enough to do so. Try reading your own words once in a while rather than pretending that you intended something all along and everyone else should have the same context in your head.
