The commoners are also to blame, they planned on contributing to the upper class and becoming apart of it rather than change it. That is the ultimate goal of the average human. To join not change. It's humanity's own hive instinct that is the true downfall. The rich or powerful is such a pointless term. People agreed to give power to the few because they hated their enemies more. They wanted to keep and block out others, so they pledged allegiance to leaders who will guide them in wars to destroy their enemies. The true enemy is ego. Do people who live in the jungles feel inferior. Do they demand money? No, they don't even know what that is. They don't care. If you play someone else's game of course you won't beat them. Giving value to the aristocracy is a mindset. Workers in the end were invented to replace indigenous people who lived off the land. There are no workers in nature. It's an unnatural process. There is only adding to the group your own family. Everything else is fantasy. Rich people don't know you and you don't know them. It's only the ideal of a society that makes everyone work together. That makes 100 people work for one person or a thousand people pay a membership fee to a store to buy food from it. There's nothing like it in nature. So of course one person will screw over the other. It's impossible to demand loyalty from someone who doesn't care about you. And why would they? Nothing in the movie talked about dismantling capitalism or giving back to nature. It's such a sham of a movie. Rich people love it because they recognize it as commentary of how desperate and envious poor people of them. And poor people think it's the rich upper class admitting that they are bad people. In reality it's simple showing both truths from a neutral perspective. Korea is one of the most classist places on earth. Poor people are treated as subhuman. The movie cast is full of rich people. It's barely a critique and if it is it is a very ironic one. No real lessons were taught and obviously nothing was learned from the film seeing how much people love it. It was simply another puff piece to make the upper class feel clever. The irony is poor people all over the world spent money watching this all while feeling like it was for them. That if anything is the lesson. Stop trying to get rich people to understand wealth inequality. The lion will NEVER feel bad for the gazelle. But having a victim mentality is even worse, selling out one another as a response is why the poor are still the poor. Spending money on, promoting and endorsing movies that glorify rich people's ignorance is why we cannot complain too much.
when parasite said the rich can afford to be kind, when parasite said global warming is most catastrophic for those least responsible, when parasite said the rich are the ones with access to sunlight, when parasite said the efforts of the working class are invisible to their exploiters, when parasite said water only ever flows from the rich down to the poor and never in reverse, when parasite said the rich are the real parasites for leeching off of their workers' labour
