    The United States is the national embodiment of schadenfreude.

    Mistakes/failures WILL be mocked and met with cruelty, unless of course you come from enough wealth to be bailed out, in which case you’re “so brave” and “aspirational” for putting yourself out there, trying new things, and learning from failure. Again, ONLY if you’re already wealthy, otherwise you deserve your suffering, and why aren’t you suffering more, you fuck up making bad decisons?! 🇺🇸
