A person or entity that provides little to no value while seeking to take/extract as much value from others; a burden on society as a whole.
Highly similar to a mooch or a leech, they thrive off owning something scarce that other people need; this provides a position of which negotiation is a mere formality.
Rent seekers are intrinsically "valued" more than a mooch or a leech though, prized by much of business and criminal culture for their innate ability to treat people like numbers and maximize cost to benefit ratios. For this reason, a "rent seeker" does not exclusively mean someone who literally owns property and seeks rent.

Get the Bolt Seeker mug.A enthusiasm used by the woke far-left democratic fake-news media when referring to the massive illegal law-breaking criminal illegal immigrants invading the open southern borders of the United States of America, thanks to the incompetent child sniffing kid touching pedo president sleepy Joe Biden. Illegal law-breaking immigrants are absolutely NOT asylum seekers, since none of them are escaping any political persecution, nor are they being displaced due to any kind of war or violence. They are just poor. That's it. They're leaving they're nasty shit hole countries and invading the United States because they're poor, and the democratic far-left woke political party currently in power is encouraging and inviting them and providing them with free money, free housing, free food, free medicare, free clothes, free laundry, virtually EVERYTHING they need at the expense of the American tax payer's pocket.
"Asylum Seekers?! They're fucken criminal illegal immigrants taking all the shit that should be for us! Kid sniffing pedo President Biden is a scumbag, ESPECIALLY since he sniffs and touches children... ON CAMERA! WE ALL SEEN IT! GET THE KID SNIFFING PEDO OUTTA HERE!"
