    Based on the other comments I think he's doing a bit, but it still makes me think about the extent to which shitty people act like the poor / working class owe somebody something, or owe something to capitalism more broadly.

    One of my favorite quotes is "Nobody owes anybody anything." Some Gilded Age twat literally said that*, in the context of dismissing social safety nets and public welfare, of course, but it's delightful to flip that sentiment on whiny chuds and capitalists when they don't get the cheap but high-quality labor they feel so fucking entitled to.

    *also rocky balboa, apparently. when I search the quote I get rocky quotes as one of the first results. If anybody knows who the guy was that I'm thinking about, please drop a name
