If you are in my social circle, this is the truth I live every day. An unending litany of complainants about the state of society from the people who have benefitted the very most from its structure. https://twitter.com/electmasont/status/1343623807550902272
And not an iota of recognition that the main beneficiaries of the structure of the system may be in some way responsible for the pathologies and problems that system creates.
And not a smidgen of willingness to make any material trade offs in behavior, lifestyle or politics to make the systemic changes necessary to reduce the social, political and economic problems that now surround them.
Just endless, relentless blaming- of elected local politicians, of the poor, of the weak, of the lazy good for nothings that didn’t grow up in affluent, white homes, go to Ivy League schools and get jobs at Goldman Sachs. In my peer group, every problem is someone else’s fault.
