    There’s a selection bias, we usually hear about the most successful shitbags. Most ordinary shitbags live pretty terrible lives. Just look at the life of the typical red state resident. Usually working their ass off in a blue collar for some plutocrat who abuses them, subjected to country music all day long. Almost makes me feel bad for them.

      Same goes for most ordinary non-shitbags.

        The point is, just because one shitbag gets away with it, that shouldn’t motivate you to also become a shitbag.
