I can't deny there's a lot of champagne socialists out there, but I try not to dismiss people. I speak to people. And I know a few people who are doing less than great, and I know a good handful of people who are doing better, and I know a load who are just waiting to see what happens next. And if I'm not on a politically... I don't know the right word, pretend I used a polite word for "badshit rage farm"... like fandom secrets I listen to what people tell me and I try to understand where they are and why they feel that way, and sometimes that means I see some champaign socialists...

And I would like to draw attention to this one point: You seem to be accusing me of dismissing people because I perceive them of being economically comfortable but isn't that what the person you're replying tried to do to me?

My opinions are wrong or ignorant because: "so far things have not become appreciably worse" can ONLY mean that I'm economically comfortable and I need to step outside my own world and agree with them, or I'm just too privileged to respect?
