This isn’t jealousy, it’s “the system is broken, here’s an example of what I mean”
Yeah life is a joke and 99% of us are the punchline.
🔥🔥🔥
She didn’t become a millionaire afaik.
She has a podcast that’s slightly popular and was already well off.
Anon might stop feeling so jealous if they perhaps stopped making up random facts, or believing lies on the internet?
Not a millionaire overnight, but she did get a huge bump in wealth. She was getting tens of thousands for some appearances fees.
Good for her.
Definitely. Imagine just being out on the town with your friends, answer a silly question, and BAM now you’re know world wide for oral sex. The amount of creepy dudes she has to deal with must be off the charts.
For those who don’t know the podcast is called Talk Tuah.
Ugh, I saw that video once, cringed and moved on. I don’t understand why this was passed around so much. But good for her for playing the game. I woulda buried my head in the sand if I went viral for bragging about my awesome schmowshem sloppy toppies
People say her podcast is actually good. I don’t know, I haven’t listened to it, but if so, then she is playing the game with decidedly more skill than just one 5-second video clip.
Honestly, I back the hustle. Even catch me outside chick. If that gets you ahead, fair does. Men have been espousing far more damaging rhetoric and making a buck. Go for it. Disclaimer: I’ve not listened to her podcast so she could be a Nazi for all I know. But young people, cost of living - if it works and it’s not hurting you or the community, then go for it.
Handed an audience. Monetized it. Not posting nudes.
She cracked the code.
She is actually pretty sweet and smart and I have a lot of respect for her making the most of what’s happened.
People say her podcast is actually good
I thought that was a meme…
…Is the Talk Tuah podcast actually talking about the historic warfare patterns of the Spanish Armada?
I’m pretty sure that aspect of it is the meme. That on Talk Tuah she discusses topics she is wildly under qualified for.
“On this episode of Talk Tuah, Hawk Tuah discusses particle physics, Byzantine economics…” etc.
There is the possibility that she/staged the video. What better way to launch a talented career. It’s a different type of marketing.
Bro if she staged a viral success I’m even more impressed
Sure, but who would have thought it would blow up. She was just drunk and spouting shit, and I reckon the next day didn’t even remember saying anything
that’s not jealousy, it’s an observation
its calling bullshit on this idiocy called the world
it can be both. who wouldn’t want, at least for a while, inurement from financial consequences. And those that have it also still want to retain it. Mimetic desire or not, it is still desired by those who have or have not.
The only reason to frame not wanting to suffer as bad is if you want to inflict that suffering
Anon develops class consciousness?
Nah it’s a bait post
Fake and gay you say?
What on 4Chan? Ridiculous!
4chan is the wrong forum for that
I’m well aware, the tone was meant to be somewhat sarcastic
Not really, I’m sure they think this is the fault of women or woke liberals
I mean, they specifically say the market, but you’re probably right
I don’t know who she is. What am I doing right?
She talked about a blow job in a funny way and it became a meme, then she jumped to capitalize on the popularity
Jump tuah, capitalize on that thang!
IIRC she got fired from school (?) when it became viral.
She wasn’t a teacher, or working for a school. She was working for some factory in Tenn. and quit, which she was already preparing to do, when she did that interview. These rumors are just fiction.
Everything I needed to know about school, I learned the first time I saw they would fire women over this stuff.
Anon discovers that life often isn’t all that fair…
Being smart and hardworking can bolster your odds, but your lot in life really boils down to how lucky you are, and how well equipped you are to capitalise on that luck.
Unfortunately the right combination of extreme luckiness and ability to capitalise on it doesn’t come up all that often, so most people simply won’t ever get that lucky break.
life isn’t fair, but this isn’t life. it’s the system put in place by people. chalking it up to life not being fair is complicity.
life isn’t fair that someone may be born with a lifelong disease, or they may get one later. can’t do anything about that. economic fairness is something we can change.
BTW I never understood why she became popular, it wasn’t that interesting or funny… but I have nothing against her capitalizing on an opportunity. she was suddenly put in the spotlight but she hasn’t grifted her way there. doesn’t hurt anyone. good for her. my comment isn’t about her but meritocracy in general.
The economic system is as big apart of my life as the chronic medical issues I was born with. Don’t know how your life functions without regards to the economy. It has been easier to get medical intervention on my medical issues, than to get society to make the economy fair. Human behavior is part of life, these abstract systems we create are a direct result of that.
I’m gonna be honest I don’t know what you’re even trying to say, let alone how it relates to my point. I’m talking about “life isn’t fair” usually being a thought terminating cliché and a poor replacement for questioning causes of unfairness. saying “life isn’t fair” in response to any criticism of the system is no more helpful than saying “it is what it is”, which is the quintessential thought terminating cliché.
my point is life isn’t fair could be accurate regarding chronic illness for example, but it isn’t enough to explain the economic burden it brings on you. we might not have the means to prevent a chronic illness, but whatever medical intervention it requires should not be an economic problem for the person. healthcare must—and can—be free.
I don’t think the two of you actually disagree, I think you’re just using the term ‘life’ differently. You’re making the point that there are parts of life that are manmade and subject to change, like the economy which can and should be changed to help people. Meanwhile they used the phrase ‘life isn’t fair’ in what they’re saying is a descriptive rather than a prescriptive sense. They don’t think of it as a thought terminating cliche and they don’t oppose reform, they just see it as an accurate and realistic outlook for the time being.
of course extreme luck can be replaced by inherited wealth and daddies’ connections and suddenly we are looking at a super star who would under average room temperature conditions would only make it to local news
Being born into riches is extreme luck.
Or did most of us choose to live on hard difficulty?
(well most of us are probably on medium difficulty, do to the fact that we can post here)
fair enough…
Well apparently 51% of you don’t agree that anything is wrong…
Explain this to me. Do you mean that 51% doesn’t include a large share of the 79% of Americans who say the country is on the wrong track? Has been for, oh, the last four years? Perhaps if the 49% had got their way instead it would have abolished capitalism and absurd celebrities somehow? As opposed to reinforcing the status quo?
more than 4 years, bud
Also true
Envious* and me fucking too.
Pretty based take for a reactionary shithole
People on /pol/ quite often post views which are actually leftist, but they hate brown people so much that they can’t bring themselves to abandon the far-right.
There’s nothing to abandon the alt right for. If the democrats decided to run on a platform that was even remotely progressive, do literally anything for worker’s rights, they’d win a lot of disenfranchised voters. Obama won, and that’s not because all of a sudden, just for a moment, America wasn’t racist. No, it was because he promised to solve one of the problems that’s killing Americans in every stratum: healthcare. Instead, we get fracker and border wall builder Harris.
I mean I’m jealous too
Uh, yeah, there’s apparently people ready to spend dollars on services (ads, personalities)
Damn, a person made a bunch of money by saying something amusing on camera? That’s crazy bro. Probably the first time that’s ever happened.

Nah, plenty of ugly actors and comedians
How many ugly actors and comedians got their start through someone else’s tik tok interview of them on the street outside a bar?

Money is fake, scarcity is manufactured, capitalism is a scam
Unfortunately a lot of people have bought into the scam…
Wait, wasn’t the whole point of climate change that we use more resources than the ecosystem can replenish?
Nope. Climate change is a pollution issue. Reducing consumption can reduce pollution, but paying or not paying for a digital copy of something has effectively zero cost in the form of natural resources or pollution.
I’m not saying that the scarcity of digital goods isn’t bullshit, but it’s rarely what keeps people poor.
The comment I responded to was regarding climate change and resource consumption, and piracy’s “impact” on them, so …
I didn’t understand the meme I responded to to be exclusively talking about piracy.
I mean sure, but the things people are prone to stealing physically, when they wouldn’t otherwise but for price, tend to be those they must have just to live. That’s not the sort of consumption we can ethically reduce.
Money only has value
if you believebecause the ones with power over everyone else say it has value.Fixed it for you. Much as we want to, we can’t will away the oppression without first overthrowing the oppressors.
Yep.
Entertainers get the big bucks because millions and billions of normal people spend a lot of time and money being entertained by them.
And we are always looking for the cool and funny next thing. And hawk tua girl legitimately entertained millions of us for 30 seconds.
THE SYSTEM WORKS
It’s why taxes were invented. Nothing gives currency value as being beaten by not giving it back to the king’s men.
$20 can by many peanuts!
Nah that’s bitcoin
