I wish people would stop dropping the "self" when using the word entitled. That's what you actually mean.
You're entitled to a lot of shit, you're entitled to compensation for your labor, you're entitled to your property, you're entitled to your rights. Doesn't matter if those rights are trampled, you're just losing something you're entitled to.
People mean "self-entitled" which means you demand something you have no actual right to.
Perfect example of language "evolving" in confusing ways that hurt communication. This always happens every generation but now with social media words are changing definitions every few years.
IIRC the word "literally" is another example of a word that completely flipped meaning at least twice in history.
