Yes there is also that. But I think that similarly and possibly relatedly, as soon as we go "let's look at Tories" or "Why do people play computer games?" or something, then we are creating a group that (even if we are part of that group, paradoxically or counter-intuitively at least) we can step away from and just observe, even understand, predict etc And once you start feeling that you understand that group and they themselves don't, then you naturally start feeling as though you are above them. Which is a different from just thinking you're better than someone cos of built-in arrogance or cos they wear shit clothes or like NFL or whatever.yes its hard to do. my natural assumption is that im better than everyone. thats normal. i sympathise. i think remainers are mostly thick as fuck with their EU flags in their twitter bios etc. i think people who eat at harvester are thick as fuck. i think people that wear boat shoes are thick as fuck. the list goes on. but i also think this is a reprehensible habit of mine.
Devil's advocate here, but: is the current 'social contract' really all that great for most people?Only a 'new social contract' - nothing too major
i think, reading between the lines, that greens has a lot of friends and work collegues that are convinced conspiracy nuts and hes bored of them trying to convince him that we are all going to be slaves of the robots at some point in the near future
