Yep, I see it on Lemmy all the time. People who make more than the average citizen love to mock others for a lack of education or call them ignorant, completely oblivious to their own wealth or privilege. Ignoring the struggles of real working-class people.
I’ve even been called “privileged,” even though I make minimum wage and I’m bi-racial. Then I was made fun of because of how little I made–I’d bet 99 percent of people on Lemmy make more than I do (I’m a teacher’s assistant for an elementary school). And why was I mocked? Simply because I dared to disagree with the hive mind.
