I won't touch the ad hominem attacks against an entire class of successful people
Over 90% of people in this class achieved no success on their own, but had it bestowed upon them through family connections and inheritance. Likewise, a lot of genuinely successful (and even very, very rich) people aren't remotely connected to Society and the ruling-class chicanery.
The reason the median American is so easily swindled by the Right is because he erroneously believes most of the upper class to be comprised of more successful versions of himself, ignoring the existence a tightly-interconnected ruling class (not quite a conspiracy, but as close as is possible in a society of this size) that hates his values and is actively colluding against people like him.
- dsplittgerber 17y agoPlease do show me any statistic or other facts-based argumentation, except for rambling, where it is shown that over 90% of "successful people" achieved no success on their own, but had it bestowed upon them. Have you ever looked at inheritance numbers in any society?
- pw0ncakes 17y agoI never said that 90% of "successful people" had not earned it. I said this of 90% of the ruling class. Most are born into it. By definition, someone who is born into the ruling class and turns out to be an idiot is not "successful". So most of the people I'm decrying are not "successful" people. However, they are powerful. George W. Bush comes to mind.
