It makes me wonder who this stuff is actually for, are they trying to convince the vast majority of people? Or are they just trying to reinforce their own safe little bubble?
i think they are trying to convince atomized poor people that they are delusional or their problems are purely their own, an anomaly, and completely their fault.
gaslight gaslight gaslight. better rise and grind because everyone else is making bank. inflation? ha that's just because you need a third job dummy nobody wants to work anymore
I dont think think a lot of it is conscious. Lots if these people are professional class libs for whom data is more real than the world outside their door. So for them if the data says things are fine then it must be fine. Everyone else is mistaken because they arent "smart," read "educated," read "gone to the right finishing schools," to understand it. But they never ask why the data says what it says or how it could be wrong. It's a unique kind if modern idealism.
