God communists are so fucking smart. You're entirely correct (here's my close up observations here https://hexbear.net/comment/4860832)

I'm ashamed to admit I've fallen into the same trap until recently. It's actually fucking wild because almost everybody I meet actually does just heap absurd praise and worship onto me. Even the blue collar workers in the office will sprint to clean up the tiny spill I made when I'm cleaning it up and tell me to please not because that's their job

I remember on my very first day, I asked for directions to a certain room and some guy helped me out, asked me my name what I do. When I told him, he replied with his name and said "Oh, but I'm only a contractor" and sheepishly showed me his contractor work badge and bowed before leaving like he was kneeling before a lord or something to show me fealty
