(So I know your virtue signalling is self defensive, but that doesn’t make it any less obviously a lack of agency, and a failure to mature into adulthood.
The purpose of the postmodern revolution was to relieve the infantilized mind of the pressures of competition in modernity when freed of the excuse that they were just poor.
Unfortunately, the poor were poor deservedly, and the postmodern underclasses are still underclasses that can just spend money because their betters have made all consumer goods and services infinitely cheaper.)
