Yes. It’s crab in a bucket but also crabs that have been told by some other crab on the outside of the bucket yelling in that he made it out of the bucket by killing 40 crabs and climbing their corpses to freedom. Of course he was actually born outside the bucket or his father-crab had already piled those dead crabs up for him… but the desperate crabs in the bucket don’t know this and many will think yow smart he was and how they’re smart and not stupid like the crabs they’re currently stomping on.
I really stomped the crab analogy into the ground… or sand?
The crabs in a bucket is meant to describe the mentality of the people not the actual situation. They may have been given the mentality by the capitalist but regardless it is always going to be the "crabs in a bucket mentality." That is the name of that particular kind of brain rot. It's the same with marvel brain, Harry Potter brain, etc. It's just putting a name to the kind of thinking. They all stem from the same source which we much work to destroy but the source doesn't change the disease.
