    The major city coastal six figure hipster socialist is a real thing. This is just an observation. I honestly have no position on this. *The Chapo pod are actually these people, btw.

      eh, for every one of those there are two dozen suburb gamers who either live cheap in the midwest or with parents and have a few thousand to throw around on this stuff

      I remember one newspaper media site thing did an article that was like “meet the trust fund millennial who spends his time advocating against capitalism”

        Our movement probably doesn't look like what some people think it looks like in their head. At least in the states.

          It's probably a lot less white than some of the urban US left realizes, for one. Whites are a minority globally and in the US they're a shrinking majority.

        wait wasn't that the same BofA VP's kid who just copy/pasted black lives matter 1000 times cause they were too lazy to write an application essay for some ivy school they were going to get into anyway?

        there's plenty of media grifters in similarish flavors nominally on the left but idk that class traitors here are the same thing

          Tbh I didn’t look into it bc i didn’t care and not like I expected msm to have anything insightful to say about it. But could be? Lol

          But Yea, I’m not saying any class traitors here are like that kid, it’s just a thing that comes to my mind when I think about “rich kid socialists” bc of how much it was making the rounds on Reddit/Twitter/etc and was tangentially related.
