Such a weird word. By its very core, it is about things you are entitled to. Like SS, which you are entitled to because you paid into it.
But yet calling someone entitled, and the use of the word entitlements, is meant to describe someone thinking they are entitled to something they aren't. It is a word that in practice means the opposite of what it should mean in theory, especially when used in a political sense.
