  If you take Adorno and Horkheimer into consideration, they basically say that tricking and deceiving people is the mere nature of power and it's abuse. The oldest example they give is the Odyssey from Homer, where Odysseus tricks several people including himself to gain advantages. 
  I mean the whole nature of capitalism and neoliberalism is to make deals where in the end you win. It can be both parties, but in the end egoism is somewhat a requirement.
  And OP didn't really watch Parasite. Those people worked afaik, also in important jobs but their conditions sucked and they wanted something better. They had the capabilitys and throughout the movie they fullfilled them, but it was their poverty that held them back until they started to lie about their background.
  The whole message of Parasite was that it doesn't what you are able to do, it's more about where you come from.
context: Didn't they have to lie and manipulate to get those jobs because that type of work was otherwise unavailable to them?
