      Idea. What are some things about your Lived Experience are well-captured; distorted or contradicted; or simply ignored, by the Discourse? Pls speak freely, and follow-up repliers kindly hew to 2d Inaugeral Rules (malice toward none, charity for all). Will moderate aggressively.

      there was gang activity targeted at my family (including me) when i was growing up the ways in which the black market economy, criminal violence, poverty, class stratification, and gang structure are mutually stuck in in a disastrous equilibrium is not coherently in discourse

      ironically enough, the very structure of the problems prohibits most people from living multiple sides of it almost no one with cultural cachet understands the underbelly well enough to communicate coherently about it

      for example, some gangs specifically target promising smart kids from poor families they have trouble recruiting credentialed smarts, so they start early and activelly invest time, money, and energy into supporting them this is often great economic opportunity for the child

      many smart children born into poor families struggle to relate to both their peers and their family this leaves them particularly susceptible to being pulled into gangs it's an economic opportunity, but it's also a mentorship program in a world where mentorship does not exist

      it's actually heartbreaking in the most bittersweet way violent criminals may be the only ones reaching out to help some of these kids, with a mentorship program, seed capital, and skills training! everything they need to succeed...in a ruthless criminal enterprise

      now you might be thinking "but i know of programs that provide all those things!" if so, i am guessing you did not eat instant ramen for months on end as a child in many ways, well-meaning programs to help disadvantaged kids fail all the time

      I do not imagine good programs for middle class children even exist and I say that as a solidly middle class kid

          in my experience, MOST of the programs that do exist serve the middle class they may have connections to get preferential placement their parents can afford relocation to areas that provide program eligibility their parents are likely to know/teach the right words to get help

          even knowing the words "mentorship" or "community grant" and understanding that you can seek out help and guidance from people willing to donate time and money is literally a foreign concept to people born into severe poverty the internet helps nowadays, easier to learn lingo
