CMV: Telling struggling people to "pull themselves up by their bootstraps" and "keep working harder" is more effective at improving their lives than waiting for the government to do it or for society to change

"Nobody is coming to save you" is my thesis.

To be clear, telling someone to pull themselves up by their bootstraps won't work for most people because most people aren't going to listen. But for those that do and for those that take accountability for their actions, that person can start to internalize what they're doing wrong and then find ways out of their bad situation.

Waiting for the government to fix these problems is not the way. Saying things like "this government programs helps x% of people" or "if we just raise the minimum wage, forgive student loan debt, implement universal health care then we can improve the lives of so many people!" Yes that would be nice, but while we wait for politicians to endlessly be bought off and never do anything, telling someone, even if they're disabled or has nothing, that only they can get out of their situation and nobody cares is technically a better solution than some top down policy which will never come.
