People who pay for conveniences in order to delegate their labor these days often confuse their class/caste privileges for a sign of maturity. What you’re confusing for a sign of maturity (people cooperating with you because you are competent/ respected) is actually capitalism replacing your social connections with money. You’ll notice that’s also how they trashed the rest of your society, if you take two minutes and think about it.
You say “your society” as if you aren’t part of it. You also assume we haven’t thought about it already, with a condescending sendoff. Not so much an unpopular opinion as it is virtue signaling from a soapbox.
i live around a lot of nazis i don’t identify with and they currently control society here (rustbelt midwest) but i see a lot of people of various political backgrounds with this particular misconception
anyway I even qualified this unpopular opinion with “people often” and you’re not under this delusion
if you’re not being criticized by the premise, and you don’t agree with the opinion, perhaps it is an Unpopular Opinion?
