Beggars don't have dignity, it's the male equivalent of a whore.I have a legitimate question. I watched the initial Sidescrollers interview and saw this as his Mundane Matt moment. He had the choice to either take the bandaid off and move on, or just keep on hiding and continue on his downward spiral. I think the best course of action was to do what Matt did. Is he better off for keep on lying, and then half-admitting after PPP convinced him to? He could just get a normal job and have some shred of dignity left.
If he couldn't beg on the internet, he would just beg to his family, neighbors, and finally on a street corner, but that's about all Phil will ever do.
He's made for the streets.
