Goddamn Americans do love slobbering on the cocks of billionaires dont they


Many Americans believe that billionaires embody the American Dream, the idea that anybody can become unfathomably wealthy through pure work ethic, skill and determination.

Bringing up the fact that luck, privilege and a willingness to exploit others for their hard work plays a major role in how they've amassed their wealth completely shatters the myth of a meritocracy, and for many Americans, that myth is literally the only thing keeping them sane. The alternative is realizing they've thrown their life away in service to the gods of the free-market.

So for them, it's much easier to do some billionaire pole-polishing than to admit that their beloved American Dream doesn't really exist.
