      No, most nepo babies are really that out of touch with reality. Remember “if you’re homeless just buy a house”.

        This kind of satire is a new way to farm engagement on LinkedIn, it’s not even remotely funny after the 100th post like this, but LinkedIn is the worst of all social media so it’s kinda on brand.

          Poe’s law means that it’s impossible to know for sure.

          There’s a lot of loonies on linkedin.

          Yeah, and? In order to satire a thing there must be the thing or it makes no sense, right?

            Well. Maybe. Too a degree for sure. The conviction need to exists. But this is also a tribal “they vs us” where its not important what they acctualy are. Even if they exists, this misrepresents them and the scale thr issue.

            How often did you insult the “just buy a home” girl and wonder how she could be so dumb and out of thougch? Well she wasnt. She don’t exists. Even if nepo babies do.

      I hope this post is. My cousin made a similar post on social media about owning a house. He was ranting that the current generation was lazy and didn’t know how to budget. Everyone should easily be able to buy a house. The house he owned was bought with the money he made by selling his first house which was inherited. Some people are really just that dumb.

      While this is most likely rage bait this isn’t far from human self perception.

      There were multiple studies on this with similar setups. Eg they’d have students play monopoly and give one of them significantly more cash to start with. Not secretly either. One would think this student would understand that this is an insane advantage but the study found that most of the participants believed that they won by playing well.

      So even with the most obvious advantage humans will think that it was their own merit that lead to their success.

      This happens all the time though for real. So it’s safe to assume the story is 100% real, but perhaps it didn’t happen to the person who typed it.
