Accurately describing the conditions that keep you poor is anti-lindy (or lindy in a strange sense). The longer you spend in poverty, the more likely you are to understand poverty. Therefore, those with the best understanding of poverty are likely to have been poor the longest.
When you describe the reasons why you are poor you are signalling that you have been unable to escape poverty for a length of time which is proportional to the soundness of your description. So poverty is lindy for poverty, and describing poverty is lindy^2 for poverty

Understanding how you are being destroyed and being unable to prevent it is basically proof that you have no useful knowledge or ability. Of course, on a meta-level, since everyone knows this, it ceases to be true. Thus knowledge of the mechanisms of poverty is a pure infohazard.
