what does socialism/entitlement have to do with arrogance? do you have the experience to believe what you say, or do you just make generalizations based on some right libertarian perspective of political system?
u.s. = fuck the poor, dick ride corporations. and u.s. has some of most arrogant people in the world, no question. so what does socialist context have to do with it?
How is feeling entitled to receive a handout not arrogance?
a handout? talk to me when corporations destroy your homeland, make your air unbreathable, destroy your rain forests and kill off your wildlife, all the while paying workers less and less and less? one of the reasons education systems continue to crumble is due to widespread corporate tax avoidance. they take and take and destroy our cultures bit by bit, and it's handout when we say things must change, else they must pay for the privilege? the game was rigged from the start -- fuck a handout. that term is inappropriate when the game was rigged against the poor.
having an opinion that may differ from yours regarding the limits of human dignity and of theft/exploitation, does not make a person arrogant. it is a difference of opinion. arrogance has to due with perception of
one's own importance. if one favors equality, to whatever extent, that indicates the polar opposite -- that the importance of others equals their own. in other words, you are very much misusing the word.
Don't lecture me about corporations. Buy the way, they are just getting started. I live in the US. They have stripped us bare already, but nobody around me gives a shit because they are too busy chasing a dream they will never reach but were told everyone could have.
How about the Venezuelan president forcing electronics and appliance sellers to take losses on all their merchandise recently? That is fucking theft too. Two wrongs don't make a right. This is not the first rodeo for the corporations. You are repeating the mistakes of the people of the United States, and you will wind up just like us unless you just shrug off the system and work on building something new. Thinking you are important enough that stealing is okay is why I speak of arrogance.
