    dude, you are the problem.

    that’s what you refuse to acknowledge. the problem is people like you, claiming that it’s not your problem, and those awful men looking for help and advice should just ‘go away’. because they upset you.

    this is precisely how rich people feel about the homeless. ‘just go away, we don’t like you, but we refuse to help you and your very existence is an offensive to us.’

      Where is he saying it’s not his problem? He’s literally doing the exact opposite and making it his problem.
