You obviously have no idea what a strawman fallacy if you're using it in this context. Go back to reddit faggot.

Straw man argument: claiming to refute one argument by arguing a completely different point.
You're claiming im talking about me not working hard enough and whining. Im talking about boomers failing to educate their children. Idiot
Oh, and if all it takes is hard work to go places, how the fuck do hipsters make a living?

2. "how you did nothing to gain the skills you supposedly have"
3. "you don't deserve anything you have in life since everything was gained by luck"
No strawman here. You made these arguments and don't even know it.
