You have to let that resentment go. It will eat you up inside and make you bitter and you will inadvertently close your mind to new ideas. If you are still friends with these people and want to communicate still then you need to talk to them about how in the past you were hurting and you are disappointed that they didn't see that or ignored it. If they act nonchalant or dismissive then just cut them out of your life. Better to do it sooner than later, especially if it's causing you anguish.
Source: was a bitter bastard for a long time but hid behind a facade of humor and jokes. Don't do what I did. Don't tell a lie so long and often that you start to believe it yourself. I am convinced it is an indirect kind of self harm.
what else is there to know besides rich people suck and ruin the world even if they're "lefties", i feel like being bitter to some degree is a healthy reaction to that unwinnable situation.
Because you're bent out of shape over someone making good money working in medicine who is being radicalized in their work place and you can't see a good thing for what it is because you can't get past your own petty and personal grievances. Should wealth disparity be even higher so that people can either be billionaires or poor enough to fit your standard of some capable of being an ally?
I think what frustrates OP is that their entire life and the difficulties they experienced growingn up was already revealed to these people already and it seemingly meant nothing to them. They were at the time close friends and it's painful that not only was that her real experience minimized and ignored by her friends, the idea of that kind of experience might now be a vainglorious facebook psot for likes. Cringe.
And maybe thats how you see the world, but for me making a twitter post isnt radicalizing, its posting. I hate rich people like how I hate cops, even rich lefties.

I would bet my bottom dollar that neither Mary nor Brenda will ever become revolutionaries.
At least Mary is like, "healing the sick" through the money of her parents and her good education, maybe if we all had those same opportunities and if becoming a doctor didnt have a bunch of arbitrary hurdles set by already existing rich American doctors to get through we'd have more doctors and less doctor worship.
Yeah, that would be cool. Mary is no more or less guilty or innocent about that not being the case tho. And doctors have been held pretty high in cultural standing wayyyyyy before capitalism. Cause they heal the sick and being sick is a bummer.
Actual class consciousness and not weird childish spite and lashing out about people becoming better because they make decent money. Like, it's not even an important person they're upset about. They aren't a capitalist and they're becoming a better person. The point in preaching is get the fuck over yourself. I will once again ask, cause I have 2 other times in this thread to no answer: how poor is poor enough to not deserve to be hated? This is a childish and self absorbed perspective. I'm sure their are people worse off who see OP as Mary and I'm certain that Mary is no where near the top of the class pile and probably feels her own class resentment. It's lib shit to be upset over this person to this extent.

That's juvenile.

How poor is poor enough to not earn your scorn?
Iunno sometimes it just all vibes and a post like this kind of gives me a similar reaction
Ah yes, the Immortal Vibe Based Ambling of Marxist Lenninism. Read a book
Idk, this literally sounds like aesthetics-based class analysis. Might as well think someone with a pick-up truck is automatically 'working class'.
If it's vibes based then almost no westerner is poor enough.

True the AMA is assumed to be good by most people since doctors but it's kinda fucked
Lol so what the fuck is the point of your preaching? Hit dog kinda thing?

Bingo
Fair point, but for me I'd rather hate than be bitter. Maybe that's just semantics.
