    Like we have a choice with society. I love calling peers bootlickers because they are trying to survive and possibly having more success than you.

    Hate the game not the player. What’s the economic equivalent of an incel?

          People can hate both. For example, we can hate both Musk for being a democracy hating piece of shit AND the system that enabled him and his like to buy an election. Using a blanket term like that catches all within said game, just to be clear

            See and I disagree. Musk is a piece of shit yes but he’s merely playing the game better for a large variety of reasons.

            My point being, the game is not the problem. The problem is assholes. This happens in capitalism. It happens in communism. It happens everywhere. The problem is not the system the problem is assholes.

            Adam Smith would be rolling in his grave if he saw what became of capitalism.
