     @aral when I was growing up in the US, you won’t believe how many times I heard a conversation that concluded with something like this:

     “Say what you want about how much of an asshole he is, he is still rich, and you at least gotta respect that.”

     I used to accept that as “wisdom,” now I see this as the product of decades of concerted capitalist propaganda. Unfortunately, I would guess the majority of Americans still accept that as wisdom.
