because they're stupid enough to fool themselves into thinking it because it gives them false hope.
They delude themselves into thinking that they could do anything of they really tried. It's the only to bear a mediocre life.
>>28058049
because they want to take all the credit.
The only people who can really empathize with others are losers, because they know life sucks.
Normies think everyone can be successful because they are successful.

Shut your commie PC ass up boi.
>>28058049
No one told them the world is rigged in the favor of those with money and power. So they justify it by thinking if they "work hard" they'll be among the rich and powerful.
Some people realize it early, some don't until they have a midlife crisis of sorts, and some just stay in the dark forever.
>people who are so proud of themselves for working overtime
Guess how your boss is spending Saturday? He's out on the yacht with his gold digger harem. Keep earning him more shekels with your back, good boy, be proud of working 48 hours week
>>28059726
communism is politically incorrect
remember "this land is your land"? how many people who sing that song keep in the anti private property verse?
They convince themselves that they are better than other people because they worked hard. They like to believe life is fair otherwise they would have to face up to the fact that a lot of people get fucked over for no reason.
They literally lie to themselves constantly so they can feel good.
They cannot comprehend the fact that the world isn't a fair place and that the only reason why they are so successful is through sheer dumb fucking luck.
Because our education system is based on classical liberalism.
They've been force-fed idealistic bullshit in school that all successes and failures are the result of individual character and virtue. They don't even have the most rudimentary understanding of dialectical materialism.
>>28058121
>>28058049
nah senpai its just the easy answer to a complex problem and its what they have to believe
in order to keep working hard, you have to believe that theres some hope for change, some goal to be obtained, why work for a meaningless task
in order to squash this cognitive dissonance they resort to le positive thinking XDDD
>>28058049
It literally is based on hard work. Why so so many neorobots think they were just doomed? I hate this shit man why can't we all just be comfy. Accept yourself already.

The just world fallacy and classical liberalism are both very good, very plausible answers. The only thing I'd add is that everyone is the main character of their own life. It's psychologically healthier to think of yourself as someone who acts on the world rather than someone who is acted upon by the world, and after all "psychologically healthier" is equivalent to "more normalfaggy." The only way for that to work out is for successful people to believe that it's their own virtue, and unsuccessful people's own vices, that put them in this situation.
>>28060591
that guy is right, liberalism sucks and dilectical materialism is the light
Waahhh wahhh life sucks cuz things are unfair. Ive got anxiety and acne. Wahhhh wahhhhhh wahhhhh. Get a fucking grip and a therapist. No normies think like is fair and that every person has an equal chance. You are all deluded af.
>>28060661
What's stopping you from being successful again?
>>28060669
Nah. I'm not a normie at all. Probably more of a robot than you. Life is determined by hard work.
You're insane if you think that statement implies the world is fair or that normies think that
the problem with jobs is that they are increasingly socially demanding in a world that does not adequately nurture social skills.
in a school setting for example, many robots will excel because they are given the tools to succeed. but in adult life it becomes more complex then being taught a task and then repeating the process. there is never ending social bullshit to wade through that takes us out like a flood.

>starving Somalis
Irrelevant to this discussion, this concerns the people posting on this website. Aside from that, they could vastly improve the situation by not having so many fucking kids and working together instead of killing each other. If you chop off your own legs, you don't get the right to bitch when you can't do jumping jacks. Also, of course situation plays a role. If a fucking meteor falls from space and turns you into a crater, no amount of hard work would stop that, you were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. But that wouldn't invalidate your life preceding that point.
>you're a petty coward who was handed everything
Ok maybe I am, but you are a petty coward who was handed nothing. I'm still better than you.

nah probably not normo, and if so what makes you think you know anything about being normal and how to get there? If you're one of those underachieving NEETs whos content with blaming himself
what makes you think that everyone should blame themselves? You fucked your life up being lazy, doesnt mean everyone with a fucked up life is lazy. My friends who did jack shit at school have girlfriends, and tons of friends
I focused on school and now I am a loner loser who'll probably end up in debt
>You're insane if you think that statement implies the world is fair or that normies think that
You cant say life is determined by hard work and simultaneously 'but the world isnt fair', since in an unfair world hard work does not necessitate a good life, or reflective outcome
ask any college student in debt working in retail
>>28060747
>The world is determined by hard work
>But life isn't fair
I worked my ass off and I got rewarded with debt, NEETdom, and a family who pretends that I am dead.
Protip - work smart, not just work hard. You can try to unscrew a screw all day with your bare hands, but a smart person uses a screwdriver.
>>28060902
No ones talking about actual hard labor dummy. We're talking about how normies delude themselves.
>>28060862
Sounds like you're just taking your current situation and pretending it applies to everyone.
You need to work hard, make good decisions.
The normie advice is said over and over again because it's true for most people, especially those affluent enough to sit at a computer and bitch about how much their lives suck
>being alone makes you a loser
Come on man.

>>28060792
>this concerns the people posting on this website
pretty sure saying we live in an unfair world concerns everyone, especially those who were born in poverty. I bring up the somalis because they are a very blatant example of how unfair the world is. In >>28060862 I gave an example of my own situation
The thing with you normies is you always assume we havent tried. We have, probably harder then you ever have, and we got nowhere, parading around your inherent success in life says nothing about your work ethic or how good of a person you are

very blatant projection. That is exactly what you are doing. I am perfectly fine accepting that there are people who are in shit cause they are lazy, because I understand that there are people beyond my scope of life experiences. You on the otherhand are unwilling to accept that there are other people have have tried hard and despite this failed, me as an example.
>>28060933
I don't give a FUCK about somalis, we're talking YOU. If YOU work hard then you'll get places.
There is literally nothing bad about your situation from what you described .
Most normies I know go through a natural life progression where they just settle in to almost everything and take it for granted. I'm sure a few had to struggle and work hard...but seriously, most didn't. They get most connections from their social lives that they've had effortlessly since kindergarten, or from family. Ask most normies how they got their first job or met their wife or anything, it is just social connections, literally zero merit or "hard work".
>>28060066
fucking this.
i'm a wagie but i outright refuse to work overtime unless i'm paid penalty rates which is time and a half pay. Fucking doing that shit for free to "look good" and be "noticed" cause you wont get noticed and they will barley see you.
>>28061000

The thread is "Why do normies think everything is the result of hard work" you wanted to bring up starving Africans, who are either born into death (have absolutely no chance by every metric) or could improve their situation but don't.

You didn't give an example of jack shit friendo.
>people I know have friends, this invalidates all of my choices
Fuck you. If you focused on school, then you should have something to show for it. If you don't, that's your fault. There is no degree in friends and friends are no metric of overall success. Time to empty the piss jugs and reassess.
>>28061058
It isn't judging. I'm not saying they are bad people. I'm saying most people get ahead through social connections, not "working hard". You'd have to be weilfully ignorant to deny this.

Moral of the story: fuck hard work. Just do whatever the fuck you want to. If you don't try you can't fail, and if you don't care or have any expectations you'll never be disappointed. Also, don't put pussy on a pedestal. I never got laid until I got out of the friend zone with my girl and I don't regret turning down the opportunity to go after any of the sluts I could have fucked in the past. If "just being yourself" doesn't work then it's not worth pursuing them in the first place because you're just setting yourself up for a miserable relationship.

>>28058220
Sure have, made $9 an hour for tiring landscaping at 12 hours a day and 6 days a week. Being that tired all the time was not worth that low pay. Then through the grace of nepotism I got a job in data entry. $14 an hour at 8 hours a day, about 5 hours of (easy) actual work on a computer and 3 hours of fucking around youtube or my phone. I'd never go back to manual labor. It was all thanks to the luck of knowing the right person. Hard work got me nothing but meager payment and many days of sore back and legs.
>>28060661
Honestly, you could succeed if you tried.
You won't magically turn into a rich chad of course
But if you seriously worked really hard and didn't let your failures get in your way, you will come out the other end much better off.
You just aren't willing to work hard enough, or are too afraid of failure.

Yea you have a degree, and you do what with it? You post on /r9k/ about how smart you are. You got where you are because you're a retarded faggot.
If Somalis wanted to, as a people, they could throw down their weapons, establish a provisional government, and use the massive amounts of foreign aid they receive to start the building blocks of a peaceful country. But they don't. They cant even comprehend that that is even an option. But that's /pol/'s purview.

Don't call it hard work it's more like careful planning and if you correctly plan out something it will happen. It's like saying you can't be /fit/ because hard work is a meme. It's obviously bullshit because with hard work and careful planning you can get that six pack before summer. Same applies to whatever else you want.

lel everyone knows logically that it isn't hard work and force of will that determines anything in life.
Realizing it doesn't matter makes you depressed and/or insane though so people pretend they are in control and determining everything themselves. Our minds are programmed in a really gay way where we have to believe this.
>>28060669

Matters literally more than anything else. I may be a NEET but my life would be a hopeless trainwreck without the people who supported/continue to support my degeneracy. If it wasn't for the circles I hung around in high school and the people I met through them I'd never have made it to where I am today. Am I successful? Not at all. Am I happy? Not when I'm sober. Have I made horrible fucking mistakes? Absolutely, but I don't care anymore. Shit could be much worse. All that really matters to me is having a few people that actually care about me and the constant fight against boredom. Without the connections I've made, I'd have absolutely zero reason to even want to live right now.

They've been told for all their lives that individualism is great and that every alternative is bad. And because it's so great, it must be a just system in which everyone is equal and has the same chances, so it has to be possible for everyone to get everywhere they want if they just work hard enough. It's basically a set of delusions that they were led to believe from childhood on.

>If "just being yourself" doesn't work then it's not worth pursuing them in the first place because you're just setting yourself up for a miserable relationship.
I kinda agree, but if I just be myself I doubt I will find any girl, because I don't have any ambitions. All I want is a fucking small apartment to expend the rest of my life on it.
>>28061355
Very extremist
Ever thought that it's a bit of both?
Of course we're all born with certain capabilities better or worse than others
but unless you apply them you aren't getting anywhere.
No, you won't be POTUS or a rock star, but if you work at something you can be more than just a useless neet.
It's not about being in control and determining everything in your life, it's just about being the best you can be with the cards you're dealt.
>>28061215
WEEEWWWW...
Schlomo, maybe that'd be feasible for Somalis to do if it wasn't for the fact that the U.S. military is slaughtering them and fucking up their entire shit at the behest of the Pentagon, the C.I.A. and a Cabal of International Bankers.

I get an extremely large amount of benzos by abusing the psychiatric system. I'll let you figure out where the rest of the free shit comes from on your own. As for the court shit, I just got arrested for petty weed charges a few times and happen to live in a place with shit fucking drug laws. I just told the judge I don't fucking care, lock me up. Then they said no, felt bad for me, and dropped literally all of it. What a joke.
>don't give me false hope
Don't even bother having hope, just stop caring. It really doesn't matter unless through some twist of fate it happens.
>being yourself doesn't work because you have zero aspirations
My current girlfriend knew I had zero aspirations and gave zero fucks about doing anything with my life before she ever started dating me. Literally the only woman I ever had feelings for in any way and now after years of being in the friend zone and falling in and out of contact I'm no longer a virgin and she's my gf. I don't even know how shit like this happens but I guess I got pretty damn lucky.

Robots are generally some of the most redpilled people. With cynicism comes an open mind, and with that comes acceptance that our society is utterly corrupt. Normies swallow the bluepill because they can't accept how bad things truly are.

you just look good which is why you got a gf. I know because my first and only gf I got without giving af probably because I used to look better back then.

>>28062302

Delusion.
While I admit, you won't get much if you're not willing to put the hours in, hard work for the sake of hard work is just pointless and dumb.
Especially if you work your ass off to be good at something, only to get your ass handed to you on a silver platter by some foreign kid who smells weird.

It's more than that, I'd be willing to bet there are more contributing factors to success than you can count on all your fingers and toes. It's not nearly that cut and dry nor is it the same for any two people. But I do agree, determination might be the key and it's something you can force. You can't force good circumstance, think that's why they stress hard work so much. It's all you can do..

You have good reason to be proud. Can you admit that some people are victim to circumstances completely out of their control that prevent them from achieving what you have? I'm not saying I'm one of those people.. I'm saying you can't look a mentally challenged person in the eye and tell them they could be president or the CEO of a fortune 500 company in good conscience. Hope you catch my drift.

No, it's not. And the fact that you claimed that it is, and that you didn't list even one thing that doesn't fall into work ethic, luck, or intelligence is proof of that.
You want to go on about connections? Connections can be a result of any of these things, whether its just sharing a cab (luck) with the right person, working hard to get into the right college and meeting the person (work ethic and luck), or just easily learning the material to get you into that college (intelligence + luck, with a VERY small side of work ethic).
Born into the right family? Luck.
Working hard in the 50's at a meat packing plant, netting you a job that can pay a mortgage and for your kids college? Work ethic.
Figuring out how to spin a product in an ad so that people want it, netting yourself a commission? Intelligence.
Every measure of success boils down to those three things, and lacking any one of them can be enough to stop you temporarily or permanently.
People like us contradict their established narrative by merely existing. So they try to demonise us by imagining our suffering is completely our own fault, retrospectively justifying their hatred and, ultimately, fear.
Normies are the most insecure people you'll ever have the misfortune to meet. Not only do they themselves have to fit into their narrow prescribed model of what should be, everyone else does to or they lose their shit. Pathetic really

What if the traditional view of the components of success is wrong?
What if there is a third factor-optimism or pessimism-that matters as much as talent or desire?
What if you can have all the talent and desire necessary-yet, if you are a pessimist, still fail?
What if optimists do better at school, at work, and on the playing field?
What if optimism is a learned skill, one that can be permanently acquired?
"Pessimists can in fact learn to be optimists, and not through mindless devices
like whistling a happy tune or mouthing platitudes ("Every day, in every way,
I'm getting better and better"), but by learning a new set of cognitive skills."

A mix of ignorance, stupidity and coping mechanisms.

Following the college path passively is the opposite definition of hard work.

This is the right explanation.
Ego and vanity play a role too. Nobody wants to believe they achieved success through the dumb luck of being born to the right parents, in the right country, etc. It's much more flattering to believe they earned success on their own through their own choices and efforts.
The corollary then necessary to maintain this belief is that when other people fail, it's not through bad luck or circumstance but simply because they didn't try hard enough.
