March of the Entitlistas

You see that cat? Let's call him Mr. Butters. Guess what? He's not very happy. He was promised a delicious warm coffee with French Vanilla creamer for just being his cute usual self. And his owner has the audacity to forget the creamer? Mr. Butters is a cat of precise tastes and you never mess up an order for cats with precise tastes. Mr. Butters is going to write a nasty post about his owner on Steemit and how she destroyed his coffee, hurt his feelings, and is a monster with no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

Mr. Butters is disappointed his owner forgot to put creamer in his coffee

Mr. Butters is an entitlista. An Entitlista is an individual who feels that they are entitled to something of which they have yet to be awarded for. Mr. Butters knows that he doesn't have to be cute. Nobody is forcing Mr. Butters to be cute. So, if Mr. Butters wants creamer in his coffee, he can get it himself.

And there are plenty of entitlistas whining about rewards they might deserve or rewards that were violently taken away from them on the brutal battlefields of that warm cozy sofa in their living room. Unfortunately for them, rewards were not taken away from them, but allocations were adjusted to better fit the sentiment of the community.

Nobody can steal your money away from you through flagging. Regardless of how many flags you get and how big they are, the amount of Steem in your account does not go down. The amount that was temporarily allocated towards you may have been higher, but that money is in flux until post payout. It isn't real and it sure as hell doesn't belong to you.

But the cries of Mr. Butters ring throughout the air. Mr. Butters deserves his French Vanilla coffee creamer with his coffee because Mr. Butters put a lot of hard work into being cute. Well guess what Mr. Butters? Your owner decided that she was tired of your rudeness and intentionally omitted the coffee creamer because she didn't think that you deserve it. And I don't think you deserve it either. You should be happy with your coffee. Most cats never get to drink it.

But Mr. Butters is tired of the disrespect and is tired of nobody listening to him. Mr. Butters deserves to be heard and all of his demands must be met in order to make the world of social media a better place where we can all life in harmony. Maybe not all, but Mr. Butters at the very least. But since the world is collapsing and life is unfair, Mr. Butters is quitting his career as a cute cat until some of these problems are fixed. Creamers for everyone!

Mr. Butters has decided to quit being cute because the game is rigged and nobody listens to him

Look, I understand there are elements and actions of individuals that one may not like, and one can take whatever action they want to improve or worsen the situation. You are all rational, thinking beings (I would hope). But you can be like Mr. Butters or perhaps you can take a look at things from a larger perspective and genuinely think for others beyond yourself. Otherwise, you might make good points, but you'll sound like Mr. Butters. And Mr. Butters is an asshole.

You would think that entitistas would learn about the world they life in, grow up, and act like adults, but alas the modern world and their own optimism have sheltered them too much from the cold harshness of reality. And Mr. Butters is a very smart and media savvy cat when he isn't protesting the motion of the universe that acts in directions opposite to his will. But being Mr. Butters doesn't make people want to help you. It makes you want to throw that hot coffee in Mr. Butters' face as an act of swift justice.

So what did we learn today? Three important lessons:

Sometimes you won't get French Vanilla coffee creamer even though you were expecting it. That doesn't mean that the effort you put in to acquire the coffee was completely worthless.
Sometimes, someone will be making coffee in the kitchen and it won't be for you even though you thought it was for you. But you are cat and you don't get coffee everyday, so get over yourself. Learn to play the piano if you want coffee everyday.
When your owner doesn't put creamer in the coffee because you have been acting like an asshole, you shouldn't write a long diatribe on Steemit about their meanness because you're just being a whining hypocrite trying to virtue signal your superiority.

Next week we'll go over Road Rage and how much you should not let your cat drive a motor vehicle despite his multiples claims of being an expert at driving such vehicles.
