It's sad and funny, but it's typical. These are a bunch of brainwashed upper class children.

Most communist movements have these wealthy infantilized adults mixed in. It's not new for America. Did anyone ever watch the Young Ones? Rik was based on an established type in British Universities.

Not a single one of these people is from the upper classes. The only culture these people have to rely on is red state, red neck culture. This is their "attempt" at what they think upper class people are like.

The culture theyre flirting with is just a very cheap, degenerate imitation of what you would consider "elite" culture. Theyre dabbling in training meant for the upper classes to become elite advisors to kings, emperors and presidents. But since they grew up in red states, they have no real culture to help them digest any of this stuff. They just grew up with a church, a mcdonalds and surrounded by people with pick up trucks. I dont think upper class people believe in tarot card readings or mysticism.

The people commenting here are resentful because they want them to be "stuck" in the right wing culture of poverty with a crabs in the bucket mentality because they know they come from the same right wing poverty villages as they do but are too embarrassed to lash out at them without the pretext of pretending these people come from money. Anyone nowadays can enrol in courses to be schooled in the "high arts", it doesnt mean it'll be a proper education; philosophy, economics, history, art. It doesnt seem like it transformed them at all if theyre talking about mysticism, magic and mind reading.

There's a nobility to wanting to uplift people and give them the same opportunities you have but none of the people in those texts seem like they display the class and humanity of someone who types like that. Theyre mostly just impoverished narcissists. And i can sense you seething that they'd dare want a better life than you with the other comments you've posted here.
