    Nah that only works if you are financially stable middle class or richer. The biggest cope libs have is to summon the meritocracy card. If youre "moral" and work min wage, for instance, they wont think about what youre saying too much because you obviously are a terrible uneducated person for being poor.

    If youre rich but youre not fortunate enough to have a job in an ethical non-profit or whatever theyll still cope with the "hypocrisy" card.

      When they start trying to wield the class hierarchy against you, I find it useful to start using infantalizing language, and to specifically characterize them as an out-of-touch class minority. It's not going to "gain traction" or anything -- if you pull this on reddit or other lib-holes you'll eat a bajillion downvotes or whatever -- but it does fucking irk them if you challenge the notion that their perspective is inherently more rounded or complete.
