OP is saying that of the people who are poor and uneducated, there is a small percentage that are fuckwits. Your description could be true for 95% of such people and it still wouldn’t be inconsistent with OP’s comment.
Not just that they exist but that they are a fucking huge drain on society.
As much as Billionaires are a cancer and the world would be better without them, Jeff Bezos never smashed the window on my car to steal my speakers, he doesnt come out vandalising public transport or parks and he isnt the reason my wife doesnt feel safe walking around at night. Billionaires are the reason we dont get more nice things, these assholes are the reasons we cant keep the ones we have.
They also make any sort of socialistic change harder, because any time you try to help the “underprivileged” anyone who wants to oppose it can hold up one of these wastes of oxygen and use them as the spokesperson.
It’s “losers”, but yes. I’d phrase it as “not every poor and uneducated person deserves sympathy; it’s not necessarily victim-blaming to refuse to accommodate such a person.”

So… OP’s “hot” take is “losers exist”?

True.
If we could even comprehend the scale of his unpaid taxes, or their impact on our parks, we might discuss this at length…
Yes, thats what the very next sentence of my post was getting it.

That’s a quality summary.
Thank the both of you for summing up my point better than I did.
I’d love to take credit for the summary, JuxtaposedJaguar did the work.
