      It’s pointless arguing with someone so deeply ingrained with the victim mentality who has already decided all their problems are due to one particular scapegoat.

        Reddit is fully of young, anxious people, some of whom will even grow up to be rich. I honestly think that what we’re witnessing here is exactly what the eggheads refer to as “atomization” and “free-floating anxiety”. Everyone’s so insecure all the time (sometimes, but not always because of material poverty) that they latch on to the first thing they see that passes for a villain.

        (I’m probably doing a bit of that too, right here, right now.)
