Yes, that’s how things work: if you can’t pay your bills, you can be forced to sell stuff. I’m sure there are any number of homeless people who also felt it was unfair to lose their homes. And a lot of them lost their homes through medical debt or simple bad luck, not from deliberately trying to overthrow our system of government.
I genuinely truly hope this is the really message that gets picked up and repeated. It is their exact fucking logic for why they show no empathy for the less fortunate -’ they must have done something to put themselves there.’ Cuz it really doesn’t fucking matter that it is Rudy, literally ANY other politician and entitled wealthy jackals would say. The problem is their toxic hypocrisy that costs people their lives.
Phew sorry. Bit of a rant there on your comment.
There’s a disconnect here: you assume that merit is based upon actions… and it is, for the egalitarian outlook.
An authoritarian outlook assumes merit based on status. As in, ‘if you have status it is due to your intrinsic worth’. Rich people deserve it… because they are rich. It makes my eyes cross and is gut-wrenchingly frustrating, but about 25% of humans lean this way it seems.
