Bitter and jealous is no way to go through life. All of these guys executed on their project or have specialized knowledge. The pie is not zero-sum, and we live in the greatest, most fair time in human history.

I think that's far from truthful.

The fairest time would be before [mass] land ownership, when anyone could stay with their tribal group or, should they choose, set off on their own and find land a-plenty to hunt/develop/farm as they see fit.

Hard times, sure; but that sort of situation seems most fair to me.

Parent is claiming that this is not true, that they got rewarded for being gifted a controlling interest in others' productivity.
