Yeah some people are gonna skim the cream, but when it's small fry who gives a shit? Maybe they'd stop skimming if the fat cats stopped eating all the fucking cream

the funny part about is that the scammer, career criminal, etc is actually living the american dream more than these working class people that get heated about it while dreaming about some day owning a small business and being self-employed and continuing to hate on people poorer than them, just even more. the lumpen is emulating the capitalist, but in a much more successful way than the worker that only envies him and in a much more direct and overt manner that the actual capitalist, who is too privileged to actually have to resort to doing crimes, or does them and evades any prosectution, because he can just write the laws that make what he does legal and buy politicians and city hall and control police and while feeding the lie of democracy and capitalist ideology to workers, making them feel that hustling legally is the ultimate goal of society. yes, the crook, scammer, thief, cheat, gangster, sociopathic drug addict, etc, is still behaving in a way that will prevent him from having class consciousness and often refuses to get a job because of myriads of reasons including recidivism, lack of privilege, trauma and anger issues, addictions, etc and is not to be emulated but the worker that bought into the capitalist ideology is only chastizing him because he isn't "civil" or "proper" enough and would be salivating over them if they did it the "right" way, aka if they had more money and capitalized in accordance to the liberal ideology, even though its really the same drive to get over on workers that motivates both "criminal" and "businessman"
