This, this is called the myth of sameness that the local libs are very proud of. Translated to what it actually means is that everyone even remotely leftist, poor or marginalized is othered in a way where the ones with more power can say whatever without pushback, because "we are all equal here".

This is how an upper middle class person can moan about hard times in the same breath with an actually poor person who is starving, example: "Yes it is difficult, we have had to consider not doing three trips abroad yearly" in reply to "I can no longer afford food." This is completely ok socially and if the poor person says something, they are the bad person who is being uncivil and ruining vibes.

Also we should not forget the incredible history of violence that has ensured this "sameness". It's samenes for the upper class.

And those of us who don't agree can't say anything or we get called Putins trolls and believers of Ruzzian missinformation, regardless of the topic. And then the nato-loving very serious and rational people start popping veins in their head.
