    As a non native speaker, I do not get the meaning of this post? And a lot of others. The word entitlement seems to have changed it’s meaning. What does it mean today?

    according to wiktionary:

    entitlement (countable and uncountable, plural entitlements)

    • The right to have something, whether actual or perceived.
    • Power, authority to do something.
    • Something that one is entitled to.
    • (politics) A legal obligation on a government to make payments to a person, business, or unit of government that meets the criteria set in law, such as social security in the US.

      This is the definition I am using:

      The belief that one is inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment.
