Inode, No. He placed a fair bet and won. That's not unfair. I don't think you understood my "lottery of life" phrase. Let's try this again. There's a guy who's richer than I am. He won the "lottery of life," which means he was born into a rich family, owned several businesses by the time he graduated high school, got into an Ivy League purely through connections, and is now vice-president of a Fortune 500 company. Did he get to where he was purely on merit? Of course not. He was born rich, he has a well-known family name, and he's now VP not because he did anything significant, but because he's a scion. That's the unfair part. Like I said, life isn't fair. But did he "steal" anything from me? According to your "logic," he did because unfair == stealing. A lot of GenZers think he is indeed guilty of "stealing" because of his "white privilege," and that he needs to "pay his fair share" in order to fulfill his end of Fauxcahontas' social contract. Your "logic" is no different than theirs. Tenchusatsu
