wow! The whole time I was reading your post I kept being reminded of a PMC (former) friend who fit this description very well. She has spent the bulk of our 20's slowly making her way through grad school and achieving various academic accomplishments while being 100% supported financially the entire time by her Mexican-American grandparents' trust. Growing up, she had been gifted with new cars on three separate occasions by her grandfather and during her college years, had three separate properties purchased (not rented) for her to live in while she studied at different colleges in multiple states. I had to distance myself from her when she started on about how underprivileged she was, being a Mexican American, and making a lot of posts about white supremacy and that "whiteness" in the United States is a major problem that needs to be addressed. It just struck me as hollow, self-serving, and ungrateful, keeping in mind the incredible luxuries she had been afforded throughout the time I've known her, she's always lived a vastly more comfortable lifestyle than any of our other friends and unlike the rest of us, has never to my recollection even worked an actual job. Then I see this post you shared in the comments and I am STRUCK by this synchronicity: (or maybe, unfortunate commonality) The last social media post I'd seen of my old high school friend, she literally said she wanted to "bash people's heads in with a giant zucchini" (and she was holding a large zucchini in the picture accompanying the post). She was specifically angling her curcubitous rage at anyone who reads online about Q, pedogate, "argues with BLM folks about racism" or who questions mask ordinances. I knew the friendship was over already, despite that I do still feel affection for her when she's not being ridiculous, but really had to recoil after seeing that post. What is about the PMC that makes them love the idea of bashing heads in so much?
