    Any system one imagines that necessitates that parents won’t do whatever they can to give their kids the best shot, is a fundamentally flawed system.

      Fuck that nonsense. This is the same mindset as every poor person who thinks of themselves as a “temporarily embarrassed millionaire.” You say it with the assumption that you’re somewhere in that equation and don’t give a shit about any kind of equality. That’s selfish as shit. You phrase it like they should be stopped from helping to make sure their kids are still fed while off at college or some shit, but we’re talking about millionaires helping their millionaire children also maintain their millionaire lifestyle by leveraging their brand to possibly get a role someone without famous parents could use to fucking survive. I don’t care how able he is to do a good job, it’s bullshit to pretend he actually deserves it because his parents really feel like he should.

        I think you responded to the wrong post.

          I did not! I definitely intended to respond to you implying there’s nothing wrong with parents using their influence to help their child.

            Ah, I understand the confusion. I didn’t write that, or imply that.
