somebody who makes six figures could probably, realistically, and easily, fund an entire gofundme campaign for surgery or paying back rent or getting out of medical debt or what have you. a few thousand dollars a year is not the end of the world to them.

when you’re five and still forming ideas of how the world works and what relationships look like and your place in the grand scheme of things, to be told that you *have* to do something or *cant* do something solely because someone else wills it or forbids it, that creates an implicit precedent that there are people you should uncritically obey for reasons that may or may not become clear later.
