    I think it’s meant in a more metaphorical sense.

    Mental chains holding yourself back from reaching your potential or personal forfillment and happiness.

      So… Queer folks have created queerphobia? And Black and brown people, racism? And disabled people, ableism? And abuse victims, their own abuse? And so on…?

      Because those (E: not to mention poverty, which is bad enough on its own, but massively exacerbated by the above) sure as fucking hell stand in the way of and deeply impact personal fucking fulfilment and happiness.

      This shit is nothing more than the liberal way of telling people to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.
