I understand your point of view. You are right. But then again, so is the person who believes that manifestation is real. Like you said : "This shit doesn’t actually work, so let’s have some fun..." You've already starved it of the energy to manifest. Life goes beyond believing in something. Believe lives room for doubt. But certainty is knowing that the sun will rise tomorrow. We answer our own prayers, depending on the energy of our certainty. If we leave it to chance it's a 50/50. But, if we're sure, first it seems it's never happening, but then you're certain, and you're not worried, so it happens. Manifestation is bullshit. Manifestation is real. It all depends on the human conviction.
I stopped reading at this sentence: "This blonde, blue-eyed, size 2, Hitler’s favorite bitch—of course it worked out for her." This is one of the most offensive sentences I've read in a long time... and in this day and age, that says a lot.
I'm surprised that some pre-publication set of eyes didn't catch that, it's problematic on several levels in what is meant to be a light-hearted and humorous piece (?).
I will say this: the patriarchy and a few other destructive elements love to see women divided against each other by color, age, class, WEIGHT and many other insane criteria, competing among ourselves for male favor. Don't fall for it.
