Rich Kid Speak: “I spent years of my life working my ass off to reach the position I’m in today. You slackers just don’t understand what it takes to succeed because you’ve never even tried.”
Translation: “Thanks to the influence of my parents, I was admitted to an exclusive club that perpetuated a series of brutal hazing rituals against me. Eventually, I got to the point where I was allowed to perpetuate these hazing rituals on others. Then I moved on to a new organization with new hazing rituals, until I internalized the idea that perpetually hazing young people was the key to a virtuous upbringing.”
