Everytime I see the word "entitlement" bandied about, it almost always smacks of entitlement. The user of the word ignores or is ignorant of the various layers of assumptions about the arbitrary nature of the system that is rigged against the average person by the ruling class.
You may be lucky enough to have found a way in the system, but it's not "entitled" to point out that the system is bullshit. You are entitled. As if "starting a business" is some fundamental law of nature like breathing or shelter. Most people don't have any other choice than to be an employee. It's like calling serfs entitled. Sheesh.
I file use of the word “entitlement” right alongside use of the word “respect.” The only people who ever use the words inflict them as asymmetrical projections of their own abusive characters.
“I will respect you when you respect me,” always means: “I will respect your right to exist when you respect my authority over you.”
“Your attitude is entitled,” always means, “standing up for yourself reduces the value of my entitlement.”
People with the self-reflection necessary to use these words appropriately will also recognize them as currently abusive and over-spoken barriers to communication. They’ll self-select out of speaking them in the first place.
