From a bazinga-rich family member, the kind that likes to dangle money at the poors by making them try to jump through hoops and otherwise kiss his ass, and otherwise pretend to be a "philanthropist" while not actually giving any actual money to the poors:
"I hate how game companies pander to lazy people with shit hardware! I have a cutting edge battlestation in my man cave and almost no game comes close to using its full potential!" :wojak-nooo:
Having worked with engineers, scientists, and other STEMlords: they're very smart in their relevant field and assume that they're smart about everything and don't have to do the same work that made them smart in their specialty in the first place. They just assume the propaganda that's been drilled into them their entire lives was true and they came to their mainstream opinion that upholds patriarchal-white supremacist-capitalism organically.
We do, indeed, have our work cut out for us.
Yes, agreed. I would say this applies to people who get enough degrees to feel special, in general. There's a mass academic psychology that thinks reading The New York Times is the height of culture and very few people are willing to be truly radical.
