I don't know why people lie about things like this. It doesn't do anyone any favors. More evidence imho for my belief that anyone trying to claim class-wide experience with something is usually lying and stealing glory.https://twitter.com/orthonormalist/status/1419471115827646468 …
The entire concept of class solidarity is based on the false pretense that zero to very few people claiming a common experience are exaggerating or lying. Really it tends to be somewhere from a modest plurality to a majority depending on cost and efficacy of signaling etc.
