they cling to this notion that because the smart/industrious/efficient/talented make more under this system (despite everyone doing better), that it must be evil due to this "unfairness" - they would much prefer a world where everyone (except them as the pure-hearted, elite, of course) is equally miserable, as long as no one did better than another.

yeah it's so weird

what's really strange is that these ideas are SO urban, especially in particularly chosen coastal-urban areas that are seen as the best echo chambers to virtue signal, they will argue a "we don't need all this stuff", anti-materialism sermon to excuse teh devolution of society that will occur. they argue this while making intentional, material choices to surround themselves with the materialism that urban society provides and don't see the hypocrisy at all.

hell throw rent into that mix, too. these people are so utterly ignorant to simple supply and demand that they are having collective (pun intended) meltdowns over rent increasing due to THEIR creation of super demand in these cities.
