    Parasite, not predator.

      More in line with bourgeoisie, the class term should be “parasitaire”. Hell, it even has Paris in it. 🤪

        I like this one because when I was really into MMOs it was interesting to see the birth of exploiter philosophy within the game. Then the positions that the exploiters would always take when it was suggested we crack down on cheating was that they were being unfairly persecuted and their mere presence benefits everyone.

        Even after the exploit was patched they usually got to keep their ill-gotten gains because they would turn what ever it was into intangibles or launder everything.

        It was just a complete microcosm of capitalism. Which can all be summed up by their creedo, “exploit early and exploit often.”

        Even funnier, Steve Bannon had ties with WoW gold farmers.

      Yeah, predators earn their food, typically.

      Wealthy people are almost always born with it… Just like many parasites.
