You're clearly educated, and admitting that you have the wealth to burn "enjoying" it. You are the wealthy continuing your wanton consumption. You are exactly what you hate, and just like those you hate, you are just selfishly thinking about yourself. You are no different from them because you are them.

Ethiopian farmers dying due to climate change-induced famine watching him enjoy himself: "great work, brother. Stick it to the man."

I'm working class. Putting working class people who enjoy steak on the same level of the people that perpetuate capitalism in the name of sacrificing everyone for their own material benefit shows that you are a feckless liberal who cares about the appearance of progress, not actual progress.

not actual progress.

It's funny because you are the one arguing that you don't have to do anything or change anything until other people do. Not me. You keep projecting, and you always seem to hate that thing about the people you are projecting it onto.

The only difference between you and me is that I actually put my money where my mouth is that I recognize that, even as a working class American, I'm actually one of the wealthy and thus I should be leading the way, rather than absolving myself by demanding other people go first.
