    The "spoilt treat boy posturing as ruthless cynic realist" is an increasingly common type of guy. People can sense how the world is fucked but generations of capitalist propaganda has convinced them that there is no alternative so they end up convincing themselves that the world being fucked is actually fine.

        Unfortunately that thing about being helpless suckling pigs goes for the rest of us as well. And when the angry treat boys throws a tantrum about not getting their treats any more and goes full fascist, we'll be in their crosshairs.
