    You’re purposefully skewing the meaning of the word to fit a narrative to justify hating capitalism.

    It’s a stupid thing to do because there are far better reasons to hate capitalism, you alienate other working and middle class individuals who actually are self-made, and you completely twist around what it means to be helped by others.

    Like you would look at someone who used to be homeless talking about how they’re self-made because they escaped poverty all on their own, a feat that you would argue is not mathematically possible, and you would shoot them down by claiming they had help because they got sandwiches at a homeless shelter and people gave them like ten dollars when they panhandled.

    What you’re doing is stupid.
