This is a true statement. And it is one of that interesting category of true statements which imply a natural question: why is so much effort devoted to denying that this statement is true?https://twitter.com/acczibit/status/1167979544659165194 …

In short, low-status losers have to be on the other side of the screen because they're paying, in attention and admiration, for information on what it's like to not be a loser. Nobody wants to pay attention to a low-status loser because there's nothing to be gained.

Shall give it a read. What was in my head with the first tweet was: why do some people feel such a visceral need to insist that losers- down even to the homeless in some cases- don’t really suffer from their condition? Why is the response always “BUT THAT’S NOT OPPRESSION”?

There is a category of something like emotional libertarians, who seems to think that sympathy, like taxation, is theft.

I associate that outlook with (a particular kind of) leftism, people who insist on economic collectivism but streat status and relationships in a way that would make Ayn Rand blush.
