'So sorry this is happening to you': Woke 1%-er's Vox lament about having rich parents isn't getting him much sympathy

Better grab your hankies. Kleenex won’t be enough to get through this sob story:

"I was born into the 1%. I think having this much money is wrong."https://t.co/er3HM54BNT

Oh, the humanity! “Writer and community organizer” Adam Roberts has clearly been suffering for years now. We’d post an excerpt, but it’s basically a graphic novel, so you’re just going to have to check it out for yourselves.

Or you could just read these reactions — that’ll have the same effect:

This is incredibly stupid. https://t.co/fDhK5xxQgP

"I have so much money. Instead of willingly giving to charity, I want the government to make laws forcing me to give my money away."

This is so cringe-inducing I had to stop. This genre of sob stories about how it's unfair that having rich parents denied you a seat at the woke table just shows how this social atmosphere produces people who think they don't exist if they aren't some kind of victim. https://t.co/WMAve9re8G

I love that his idea of sleeping well at night is giving money to social justice organizations rather than, you know, charity.

Also why would he be afraid to spend money on Uber and popcorn if he was working and making his own money? Unless he was living off of his family's wealth while contemplating whether it was moral to do so.

This image really tells it all. My friends make fun of rich people so I need to find a way to shed the rich person image without actually not being a rich person anymore. pic.twitter.com/QQMBU4iM7Z
