They have even managed to screw up their own class consciousness by abandoning the working class in favour of the underclass/lumpenproletariat.
If they actually cared about the working class, they'd realize that:
-People trying to make ends meet do not give one single solitary shit about wealthy blue-haired AGP trannies trying to get on the sportsball team or be represented in vidya games.
-A huge chunk of North America never really recovered from the Great Recession, and a lot of full-time career jobs are still gone. The numbers only look good because most of the replacement jobs are part time, temporary/contract, buck-or-two above minimum wage dead-end jobs, if they aren't outright filled by H1Bs/TFWs.
-Just giving druggies Narcan and letting them camp and shoot up in parks disproportionately affects the working class, who don't have cottages or the money to take exotic trips.
-Focusing on glamorizing the Fentanyl Riots and going all ACAB, when most working class people just want safe neighbourhoods, and not have to worry about their kids stepping on needles or getting caught in crossfire.
-Rampant credentialism means you need a degree to do anything that doesn't involve a nametag, mop or spatula. That takes time and money. Gone are the days when someone without the aptitude or means for post-secondary education could get into a decent job straight out of high school. Now, streaming kids into vocational or college prep is "discrimination", because why help 200 poor kids get decent jobs when you might get one more black kid into college who goes on to found a startup?
-It isn't trendy to talk about "missing middle" housing (nothing between social housing and luxury builds), predatory lending, poor quality education and lack of practical vocational training, a rising wealth gap that's trending towards a new Gilded Age.
-Just straight up ignoring basic facts about wealth concentration- the best way to get rich is to be born rich, because money buys you time (like not having to work while you go to school and the ability to take on unpaid internships, exchange semesters and the like) and 2nd through Nth chances if you fuck up, short of murdering someone. Then there's marginal propensity to consume- when you're already rich or upper middle class, your lifestyle costs proportionally less to maintain, freeing up a lot more for you. When you make $250 000 a year, a pair of shoes that cost $300 affect you less than a person making $25 000 buying a pair that costs $75. Working class people have a way harder time saving because between rent/mortgage, healthcare, insurance and transportation, most of a paycheque is already spoken for.
-Worshipping tech only goes so far. "Just learn to code!" isn't the one solution to all problems. Fellating Apple, Google and Amazon only helps Apple, Google and Amazon.
-A stubborn refusal to do anything that might accidentally help a straight white person along with BIPOC/lgbTWTF does more harm than good. Why not talk about a higher minimum wage (in 1968, the US federal minimum would work out to something like $18.60/hour), reform for junior salaried positions so people aren't doing 10s of hours of unpaid work a month to keep their positions, rent-geared-to-income to help qualified people and such? Oh that's right, those things don't care about woke points or brown transgender sex workers.
