Supplementary "The self-made man or woman as business success story has long been the motivating ideal of free market capitalism and the basis of its ideological self-rationale; if inequality exists in society, says this mythology, it is because some are more innovative and more hardworking than others, because some are more willing than others to pull themselves up by their bootstraps instead of sitting around complaining about poverty as if they think the world owes them something. As well as being the basis for the demonization of the poor and unwaged generally, this mythology also forms the basis of racist mythology by whitewashing historical forms of dispossession, favouring instead the spurious theory that the impoverishment of indigenous people in particular is somehow due to their genetic or cultural characteristics (more likely the latter these days, given the PR problem eugenics developed after Holocaust). The fact that institutional discrimination sidesteps the issue of their historical dispossession and the crimes of state with which it is associated, predictably, does not figure." https://medium.com/@ben.debney/combating-competitive-individualism-as-an-ethos-of-injustice-33727de81794 i.e. #OtheringDiscriminationRacismStructuralSystemicInstitutional And "The 'Self-Made Man' Is a Myth The myth of individuality made capitalism possible and has sustained it to this day" https://medium.com/team-human/the-self-made-man-is-a-myth-1be2bb0d1baf
