The usual kulak/petty burshwá dipshit who "runs the family business" of leeching surplus value and sending some emails is usually proud of it, leave alone the shitstains with 4 surnames and zero heterozigous loci.

Same with PMCs in overpayed jobs, usually saying "yeah I got this job thanks to my uncle/frat top"

But then mediocre overvalued "artists" piss and moan about their daddy owning Sony not being a big deal in their astroturfed careers.

Why? Some people do end up actually liking their music, so who cares if they didn't have to audition a million times and waste their own few money playing virtually for free in shitty bars?

      Yes, but why are they so defensive against it?

      The kulak who was handed down capital loves boasting about it, usually sided with their own "oh so hard work", but it's all stolen surplus valor!

      But why some people are afraid of saying "yeah I won those first key castings cuz my moms" if they ended up with an Oscar anyways?

      Of course, the Goop ghoul wouldn't have won her Oscar if it wasn't for her parents, but she was the one acting, and it is her name engraved in that statue

        I think it's because boater kulaks are more craven in their approach to defending their ill-gotten gains while hollywood types tend to be more liberal and open to understanding that the general public would be off put by their nepotism.

        I guess you've never listened to "How I Built This" then? The NPR podcast where successful entrepreneurs sheepishly admit in the third act that the business they started in their own garage was bailed out with a billion dollar loan from mommy and daddy's friends?
