2-Kinda like the villains at the end of Money Monster.

3-I guess to some people that would be sympathetic, but not me.

4-But what do yall think? Is Jacques not a bad person. Rather is he just a winner at the game of capitalism? 1-Wrong, most people instantly write off anything that is edgy or cynical. If they don't, they mock it and parody it all over the internet.

2-At the end of what?

3-I'm not going to judge Jacques over a phrase he hasn't said yet. For all we know, what he would say would be completely in wording and meaning.

And specifically with that phrase, it's lacking too much context, trying to be too general. "You didn't ask questions when you had clean clothes or a roof over your head". What exactly are you trying to tell?

That they didn't ask questions about how they got their money? About how they never complained when they had a good life? Really, it seems like you're thinking of something entirely different.

We haven't even seen anyone making actual questions besides 1, which he inmediately refuted by pointing out Faunus get the same salary as the rest of the mining staff. (And even then, judging from the general conversation, the issue seems more related to Atlas and Mantle, not specifically Jacques or the SDC).

4-More of a carried man than an actual winner IMO but yes. Corrupt and egocentric/egotistic at worst, but not actually evil.
