      @davidross I think there's also something else going on, which is a generational shift. If you are a young adult today under 35 then you have probably never known any approximation of actually functioning capitalism. From your perspective the economy has been permanently flatlining, with the patient not responding to treatment. From that perspective the excesses, classism and smug proclamations about building a better world while simultaneously exuding bigotry, nepotism and celebrating disgusting inequality seems repulsive.
