  And any resistance to those policies is met with more rage from the right, its a self propelling cycle.

  Why isn’t class-based rage as popular, then?

    Because the right censors that and feeds anti-socialist propaganda to the media so people misunderstand it and don’t try to fight it.

    because everyone thinks they are middle-class, and everyone aspires to be rich.

    very few people think improving the conditions of the working class is a worthwhile goal… the goal is to get out of the working class and feel superior to them.

        What’s baffling is I meet people my own age, who make like 200K a year. who also think this exact same way. They think their life right now is impoverished and they deserve to be a billionaire one day. Half my first dates the past couple of years tell me how ‘difficult’ their life is because they can’t afford first class plane tickets.
