      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.)
