Freshman year of college I was in a philosophy class and I was giving some sort of group presentation. The prof asked my group “what do you think is your purpose in life?” And none of them really had an answer while I just said “to make the world a better place for those who come after us” because in my mind that’s just the obvious answer. The prof looked kind of taken aback that I just had an answer on the ready and was like “Why? What’s your motivation?”
In that moment I realized I was in front of a lecture hall of privileged students. I was surrounded by people who didn’t know poverty or desperation like I had. I clawed my way here on scholarships while they were legacy kids or trust fund babies. In that moment it clicked in my head that there’s this level of empathy that you can only gain when you have absolutely nothing to lose. A level of empathy that only the impoverished have. A level of empathy that screams out that you have to fight to make things better even if it doesn’t benefit you. It’s a concept that you can only really grasp when you have nothing to lose and the kids before me hadn’t known that pain. They hadn’t developed that kind of empathy.
My only answer that I could give the prof was “Why wouldn’t I?”
i know u dont like to listen to us commoners but… lmao
And just so y’all aren’t confused sympathy and empathy or two completely different things sympathy is wanting to cry for someone empathy is crying with them. You can’t earnestly relate to painful experiences if you’ve never had to have them in short it’s hard to scream with a silver spoon in your mouth. 
On this day, 21 January 1921, striking workers in Santa Cruz, Argentina, seized the La Anita and La Primavera ranches, taking their owners and the deputy police commissioner hostage.
The strikers, mostly wool workers and rural labourers, were demanding better pay and conditions, including Saturdays off work, better food, and a pack of candles per month each. The workers had organised themselves into columns and were marching from workplace to workplace, seizing food and weapons.
Subsequently some clashes took place with police, but after the arrival of the army, the workers agreed to give up their weapons and release their hostages in return for most of their demands being met.
However, later that year, authorities raided union offices, and when workers launched a general strike in response, Colonel Varela arrived with 200 troops and set about trying to crush the strike with brute force. By January 1922, up to 1500 workers had been killed.

This shows a good example of how bigfoot structure isn’t equal to a human’s structure. If you understand body ratios, it can be really easy to bust a hoax suit picture. And this is why Patty is still debated to this very day. She has non-human body ratios.
All humans have a specific body ratio we fit into. Our arms are 20% shorter than our legs.
Bigfoot, on the other hand, their arms are 5% shorter than their legs. It’s a pretty significant difference that gets overlooked.
So many people have come out and claimed they were the ones in the Patty suit, but everyone who tries to replicate the pose can’t nail Patty’s picture on point to prove it. Everyone in a human suit can’t match the bigfoot ratios. No one yet has ever been able to do so because our human ratios still show in the monkey suits.
Look at her arm, it extends past her butt both in the length of the arm and the distance from the rear end and wrist. That is a LONG arm. It’s beyond what a human can have naturally. Now compare the distances of the wrist to the elbows in both examples. Patty’s is a very long length again.
This video by ThinkerThunker goes more in depth on human vs bigfoot ratios.
