Sure why not get trapped youself with responsibilities and work your life off making rich people even richer.

That's just childish. Eventually you'll have to learn responsibilities (towards other people) are a privilege and necessary for a full life.
You'll just keep getting (more) bitter and lonely until you understand that.
I think what they mean is that "responsibility to society" has been co-opted by capitalists such that even our own children are a resource we're expected to raise to further contribute to endless growth and someone else's profit margins.
None of us are really contributing to each other when we work, or the commons, since that's all been purchased and is being rented back to us.
