America has a deep Protestant work ethic where the message is success is a result of work with the nasty corollaries: 1) poor people can only be poor due to their personal fuckups and therefore deserve their fate 2) billionaires got that rich entirely due to their own merit, and are demigods (or better) that lesser people should just worship and obey. This shit is the core of the longest-running and most effective propaganda campaign the world has ever seen. --- "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.
