Someone at my school called Alexander the Great a "trust fund kiddie"

by ChessMango_v1

I did, of course, mention his extreme military achievements and what he did for Macedonia/Greece. However my friend just keeps mentioning Philip and how he built up what Alexander used in his conquests. What do I say to him?
