I see the poors are pretending to be big wallet niggas again est. 2016
Hello, welcome to 'I see the poors are pretending to be big wallet gangstas again'
This hole exists as a safe space for refugees from the Facebook(MetaTM groups of the same name. Of which there have been several iterations. We mostly exist to poke fun at the state of living in poverty. While it oftentimes is unavoidable, we do aspire to not be meanspirited. Over the years we have co-opted the term 'Peak Poor' to being someone who exudes poverty, regardless of their actual net worth. Trump and Elon both exhibit the peak poor ethos from time to time while still being the top 0.000001%. You can do something peak poor and still be a good person or a generally adjusted one. We all have a bit of poor in us.
We basically fill a niche similar to fatpeoplehate with a bit less actual malice.
PeakPoor is shotgunning mountain dews at 5 years old.
PeakPoor is not people dying of poverty. While technically the greatest heights of poverty is succumbing to it this is not funny, and is a failure
of capitalism. We do not make fun of poverty to be mean spirited such as that.
Read the room, if it's punching down too hard or really digging into someone whos a sympathetic character it doesn't belong here. (basically READ THE ROOM)

I am looking for a mod who will help me grow this place and encourage the facebook community where the majoryity of our members reside
to migrate. Contact me if interested.
I really do love you all so very much, i'm even spending drama coin to get some banners and marseys. thanks for being a part of the community.

Why does the Philippines need golden rice at all? They can easily grow yams, sweet potatoes, and carrots, their land is extremely fertile and their people still have a good understanding of subsistence farming. I suppose I see a reason in places like Nepal where their soil is poor and the growing season is short.

What's up with first worlders insistence that developing countries populations should remain doing subsistence farming?

Because it's BASED and TRAD. They don't want their 13 year old tradwife to be corrupted by western vitamin A when they go pick her up after being a KHV at 40.

Rightoids wanting to RETVRN is one (quite delusional) thing, but for me the worst comes from “progressives” with a patronizing attitude and white-savior-complex. Most of their opposition to GMOs is ideological (muh Monsanto, muh Bayer, le evil corpos poisoning poor farmers) and they think only them can protect the poor wretched “third-worlders”

Both are profoundly r-slurred. A big one for me is raw milk. A lot of kids are going to die from that. A generation of needless "y" names gone.

Extreme income disparity. Which, knowing upper middle class people in both Manila and rural areas, this isn't because they want people to be poor. It's one of these shitholes like Lebanon where people who mean well can't make a difference. Other than helping dig out the bodies when there's a lahar.
