Related/unrelated but after encountering various artists, who tend to live in some cultivated mystique or sense of genius, it was helpful to realize they’re often just also dummies- talented, but of the same mindset as any other dickhead you’ll find out in the world.
The pretension of some success makes it way worse, I’m sorry you’re out there

A truly contemptuous people, those despicable Dutch
I worked one shift at a warehouse that had some day labor available, guy I was working with was fresh out of Venezuela. Had my current political views, didn’t want to prod him too much but wanted to learn from a Venezuelan what Venezuela is like. Of course, he spoke fluent English and told me how his parents had paid for an English teacher for him. He said he hated Maduro and the only way to stop him was to kill him. I asked how he was still in power, he said he stayed in power by paying off the poor.
I got it then, and that flows into my understanding that the people I interact with in anyway who are from socialist countries necessarily speak English, and therfore are almost certainly from the middle class or higher. Which is helpful when remembering how “survivors” testimonies of those counties should be read. They are likely not from the working class or poor, and that WILL color their narratives and of course the ones we hear promoted in the west.
Anyway, he and his dad, who was also fighting brain cancer, were struggling finding work. This was a couple years ago, who knows how things have gone but here we see what capitalist america has to offer
Excellent question and I have no idea about any of it
