9/ And the 1% that isn't bullshit - a lot of the time someone just inherited a shitload of money, or married someone super rich, or whores herself out to Arab sheikhs for $1000/hour.

10/ This is the kind of desperate bullshitting Instagram thots and influences will pull.https://twitter.com/thepiclord/status/1415694774032650244 …

11/ One of the other techniques is to get noticed by a celebrity. This one here used social media to get into doing rap videos (she has a big ass) and softcore porn, got noticed by Drake, fucked him, got preggo, and scored that sweet child support money. https://www.instagram.com/sophieknowsbetter/ …

12/ People care because folks chase status. A lot of folks get to thinking exotic vacations, fancy cars, and modernist mansions are more common than they really are. They go into debt chasing it. But the people marketing it don't have it either. It's BS.https://twitter.com/MrsStark71/status/1415698464663609347 …

13/ Regular people contribute to this impression in their own way. A friend covers his FB wall in pictures of his fancy vacations with the wife. Or new car. Not pictured: checking account has $5 in it. Bills are stacking up. He's working extra shifts just to pay the notes.

14/ One chick I know goes on tons of vacations. Even does it on her own dime... kind of. She inherited a lot of money from her father. But even that is only enough to afford the vacations if she rents a tiny shitbox apartment. 40+ years old now. No husband. No kids. Just vacay.

15/ But if you look on her social media, it's all these awesome hotels, cool places, fun nights drinking and (presumably) scoring one-night stands. So much of everything you see around you - especially on social media - is bullshit.

16/ There's a catch-22 to it. A Kafka-esque trap. If you DON'T spend like crazy, if you don't chase the status, posts the vacay pics. Etc... People assume you aren't doing it because you CAN'T do it. Had a lot of people in life think I was broke because I don't drive a Benz.

17/ Some people (
@MorlockP comes to mind right away) don't care about this kind of signaling. But most DO care. At least a little. It still stings sometimes when people assume I'm poor because I don't do that shit. Then I remember I don't have a monthly payment for it.2 replies 0 retweets 14 likesShow this thread -
18/ But even those who care ought to see most of it is fake. Some chick renting an Airbnb twice a year to give out the impression she lives in a mansion. Some chick taking pics on a fake private plane. Dude recycling pics of a vacay from 5 yrs ago to give impression of wealth.
