And something something bootstraps, something something avocado toast.

I fucking love that bootstrap saying. Like if you take even 3 seconds to think about it, it's obvious that pulling yourself up by the bootstraps is physically impossible.

But they'll happily keep parrot it nonetheless.

That's the point. It's started out as satire, but someone didn't get the joke.

It's like how the Republicans thought that "Born in the USA" or (more recently) Twisted Sister's "We're not gonna take it!" are good right-wing anthems.
