Stuff like this and the "base" he has created give off pretty harsh trump vibes. Here is a link confirming for those wanting one. Sorry I did not include it originally. https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.712106

Serious question: what actually is the value of hard work?

@doleo @Ulrich_the_Old
It is a concept that supposedly is needed in order for us to succeed. As a concept, it is used to bury the fact that many of our “successful” citizens (read rich) actually inherited their monies or “knew someone”. It is also used to explain poverty…. That is, if you are not successful, it is your own fault because you did not work hard enough.

It was common for european colonizers to say this about indigenous people, basically meaning that they don't participate in the world economy. Or, said another way, they're not being exploited for profits by said european colonizers, which is obviously bad.
