Your sense of self-entitlement means you're probably the kind of person that pulled the wings off of butterflies when you were little.
What does "pulled the wings off of butterflies" mean in above sentence?

It is a metaphor for being wantonly destructive, that is playfully mean, merciless, cruel or even inhumane.
There's a famous line from Shakespeare that this reminds me of:
As flies to wanton boys, so are we to the gods. They kill us for their sport.
from King Lear Act 4, scene 1, 32–37
