This is the same argument Libs are using to dismiss people's economic woes. It's all just social media feeding them bad vibes, the stats say people are actually doing great!
ur right listening to fox news and cnn talk about pan-muslamic trans-jihadi terrorism is the same as my landlord saying the rent will increase when my lease renews
Don't mistake me for making this argument myself, I'm just saying it's their counter-argument.
If you come at them with this line they'll just say it's an anecdote, better to point out the blind spots in the data, like for example that housing is objectively way more expensive across the board with little sign of getting better anytime soon, so even if people are doing a bit better otherwise most of that improvement is being eaten up by housing costs.
"Here's why what you're experiencing is not actually real."
-Some Chucklefuck
TBF, people "experience" things that aren't going on all the time.
Half of Republicans think they live under a Trans-Muslim Communist dictatorship, for example.
although the communist part is iffy
They have half a communist but it's split between Roz and Alice
God I wish
don't worry we will soon be sitting on our thrones ordering the cis masses marched to the transing chambers
because that's a community that was imagined for them by what they consume. Watching shit through the TV is not experiencing anything
