You are a caricature of what Umair describes: No rebutttal, just emoting. Trying desperately to push back against something that, for all we know, you know, too. But it makes you feel weak. I sympathize with your vulnerability. It’s hard to actually know things and our society is the most stratified of all the western liberal democracies. And, as Umair points out, it’s every man/woman for themselves. So your choice is to do the hard work, while having to keep your spot on some rung, or just grab for allies that ask nothing of you except to go along with them.
