I don't think the protest is about being people feeling entitled

It's not about people not willing to work to take care of themselves. It's about there being a small group of people who own pretty much everything.
That's not "life's unfair, deal with it", that's "the system as it currently stands unfairly favors a group of people who do not need to be favored."
Btw, I'm sure that your bootstraps attitude sounds really romantic, but the fact is, cleaning toilets for the rest of your life is really shitty (pun unintended).
