Are we really jealous of Phil's success? - Gout, Bankruptcy and Vitriol. Sounds good?

[The Penultimate Warrior]

I'm certainly not jealous of his mental state. Not only is he incredibly paranoid and bitter, he's been sitting in his echo chamber so long his brain is now hardwired to believe nothing is his fault, and he did everything correct. A good example was when he got run over in PUBG (?), he's talking his usual shite, without hesitation says "I dodged that" and goes straight back to talking shite.

In response to the folks here admitting they’re jealous of Phil getting easy money for nothing, I can tell you all from personal experience that it’s a miserable way to live for any normal person. Don’t get me wrong it’s pretty sweet at first, but after a few months having anything on demand made my existence begin feeling increasingly more hollow and fake. Buying whatever you want gets old fast when you know you didn’t really do anything to earn it deep down. Even though Phil is obscenely delusional about everything regarding him, living like this for years on top of being a massive gacha addict and alcoholic has clearly taken its toll on his mind. It’s gotten so bad now that he can’t even handle getting less than $200 a day without panicking.

Certainly not jealous of BEING Phil, heavens no. No friends, no family that gives a shit (only money), no work prospects, no other bridges to speak of (long since burned), potato spouse, autistic son who can't talk and only insists on shitting in a box, middle unit in scorching-heat Seattle, bankrupt (morally and financially), etc... Looking past the annual income, you'd have to be pants-on-head retarded (or derich) to want to be those things.

I'm more mystified than anything else at just how this...human has almost totally Mr. Magoo'd himself through life, never having to have faced any real adversity. And when there IS some amount of adversity (bankruptcy, back-tahxes, etc...all of which are his fault, of course), he just ducks under the incoming girder and continues on his bitter journey, shaking his tin cup because he needs tho-that money, he really does, to pay his bills?

I would like to meet the person that's jealous of Phil's "success". But I'm pretty sure such a specimen would give Sidella a run for his (tard) money.

I look at my office walls. 7 foot black bear skin. 28 inch walleye. Mountain goat. Wild boar. Achievements of going outside and living.

Zero vests.

I'm pretty jealous tbh

My dad would like you. Go find him for me.

Success is a purely subjective measure. So, no, I am not jealous of Phil's "Success".

 

[Draza]

Why would anyone be jealous of the guy that masturbated to hundred of kids on a YouTube livestream and is known as one of the worst gamers in existence?

He may be making insane amounts of money, but as result he's now a miserable deluded asshole who's a complete laughingstock on the internet. Phil is a prime example of how money doesn't always brings you happiness. You should not be jealous of him, you should pity him.

 

[GeorgeFloyd]

I'm jealous of his absolute lack of self awareness

 

[Kosher Dill]

I'm not jealous of Phil, I'm not having sex with women that are ten times hotter than the women he's not having sex with.

 

[Providence Backing_21]

I don't own any vests so I'm happy.
Anyone jealous of a man about to have a second mid-life crisis? I count Leanna, two leased BMW's, and two Kahndohs as his I turned 30 crisis; for Phil that basically is his mid-life.
HBS is going to be great when midfirst bank wants their monies.

 

[L.I.M.B. Commander]

Tbh I wouldn't wish Phil's life on my worst enemy. The mental gymnastics one would have to go through to make that kind of lifestyle or even a bankruptcy seem like a victory....yikes....

 

[Silent Observer]

CALM DOWN. NOBODY IS JEALOUS OF DAVE BENNETT

The reason Phil's life is such an attractive shitshow is because, like WingsOfRedemption, he's a person with the philosophy that minimal effort should net maximum profit. There are other video gaming Youtubers who actually put effort and editing into their videos. Every profession on the fucking planet, from high finance to housekeeping, requires maximal effort and competence put into the job. Yet somehow there are fuckbois like Dark and Wings who think that simply playing video games, yelling at their audience, and e-begging is deserving of livable/luxurious wages, and it is BAFFLING to normal people how they manage to keep getting away with it, because it either means that
A) Karma doesn't exist and we should question our effort (which is bullshit, because effort=ambition=power)
B) Karma does exist and Dark/Wings are just building up a bigger debt which will be HYSTERICALLY HILARIOUS when it is time for the cosmic collection

 

[Optimus Prime]

Is Phil even successful? Sure, he makes money, but he hates his job and pretty much lives an empty life - he sucks at business despite supposedly having a degree in it (that condo really fucked him over because he wouldn't go to the trouble of renting it out or selling it), he hates video games and only even still rides that spoiled gravy train on the coattails of an EVO event far in the past and required a specific chain of things to happen so enough players wouldn't attend to even allow him to place 4th, he is likely in a loveless marriage, and he's absolutely paranoid as fuck.

Hell, if he actually had his way, he'd do nothing but sit around drinking cheap water-beer and watching wrestling 24/7. He is essentially stereotypical redneck trailer trash who got lucky in finding a modern gold mine, but he's pissing it all away constantly.

 

[Draventren]

The only thing I'm jealous of is that he owns his own place, and even then it's really just an okay place in a very overpriced area from what I can understand. As tempting as it is to agree with the sentiment that you can make so much money for doing effectively nothing, what's the fucking point? It's not like he's doing anything with the money that actually matters. It's been pointed out before that he has wasted opportunities that he's had handed to him on a platter cause he's dumb, but it goes so much deeper than that for me. He was making his fuck you money back when (let's assume like 150k USD a year, even though I think was estimated as well more than that) and chose to piss it away instead of using it to set up any sort of future. I'd love that kind of money - who wouldn't really - or even how much he's making now yearly. Not so I could go out and buy all the video games, porn, and warhammer I wanted, but because I have things that I want to do, things that I want to make, and people in my life who I want to help and give back to for all the things they've done for me that I'll never properly be able to thank them for. I've been through some shit in my life, everyone has and I'm not special. The best thing that can happen to a person is struggle, because that let's you know who and what you are, and who the people around you are. I've got friends who would and have supported me, a strong family support network, and a passion for my work, hobbies, and a desire to become a better person because of those things.

Phil has a job he hates doing, an overpriced condo, a trophy wife with the personality of a brick wall and the face of one too, a cat he ignores because he can't be assed to look after another living creature, no real contact with his family, no real friendships to speak of, no hobbies that don't involve pay-to-win mobile games, and the worst of all no drive to become better. He's welcome to it. I'll make less than half of what he makes and keep on working on the hard things in my life, while he is more than welcome to sit around and stagnate.

 

[AcidityLiquidity]

Jealous of getting paid 100s of thousands for playing games badly from wheelchairs? Sure. However since it is Dave it is counter-balanced by him being a fat unlikable pigroach up to his thinning hairline in debt.

So, jealous of the job but happy as anything I'm not him.

Phil doesn't own that condo, the bank does. According to the financial agreement Phil won't own that condo until he's 62.
And that's assuming he doesn't fuck anything up regarding that financial agreement for the next 24 years.

Phil won't even own his car for 3 more years. . .

That's assuming he'll have enough money to pay the rest of the car when he's done. No, he'll bring it in at the end of the lease and then lease another one.

After all, it's not like it's his money. All he needs to do is beg online, drop a few hints that he needs to bring his car back and doesn't know what he can do and his wheelchairs will fill in the difference.

 

[Tumbo]

Not even remotely he clearly hates what he does and is miserable although I'm definitely not making Phil money i happen to love my job and that's something money can't buy.
