In fact some of them hate you and consider you to be a parasite no matter what you do.

This we have heard. This we all know. The concern for their fellows is all just for show

Personally I'd prefer if 'memes', if you can call it that, like this one were kept to politics-centered communities.

In any case, I think the message is true for most if not all countries on the planet. No politician from any major party is a good person, and they most definitely don't care about you enough to do anything for you. You will probably have a hard time finding any politician that isn't a liar, or worse, but the major parties are the worst of the worst.

So... I should just lay down and take it? I'm not sure what point is being made.

Look for ways to pursue political goals beyond obediently punching a ballot. The billionaires don't control politics just because they vote harder. There's lots of ways to go about it but almost all practical strategies involve being a part of a larger organization. Unions are the most classic example.
