In the USA (and UK) if you are poor you are considered a LOSER! Society in these two cultures is all about Winners and LOSERS. If you are not rich you are a LOSER. A LOSER is a pariah. Everybody loves Winners and hates Losers. If the game is rigged, then you lost because you didn't figure out how to manipulate it for your benefit. That makes you a loser.
This belief or philosophy or religion is also known as "Survival of the Fittest". Its a cult.

Not being rich only makes you a small l loser, which as we all know is what happens to a Winner who cannot support all of the deadweight of LOSERS cling to them and definitely not in no part due to the actions of the rich winners.
- dfxm12 3y agoThe belief in religion is called prosperity theology. I'm not sure this describes any philosophical definition of "survival of the fittest", as systemic issues rig "survival" towards people who already have the most resources, regardless of their fitness. This isn't a meritocracy.
- tharmas 3y agoI was looking at it as Survival of the fittest implying Winners and Losers. You are right that "prosperity theology" is essentially Evangelical Christianity in the USA.
