Reminds me of this one time, when I still used reddit, ran into somebody who was talking about being an immigrant and something about how they’d managed to succeed. I think I had tried to give them some socialist style commentary and it turned out that they were a landlord of a kind, and I was pretty blunt with them about the ridiculousness of their “success” being to become an exploiter.
I guess I think of it because some people who are migrants can technically succeed, if we consider the “American dream” to be “become the oppressor.” But that’s nothing to be proud of and few can do that even if they all had so little of a conscience to try.
