You know the types. The ones that studied arts/humanities, live in coastal elite cities (notably Brooklyn or LA) off their parents' money, failed to achieve a successful career in their desired field, now mostly work food service jobs for 15-25 hours a week, and their politics seem more like an aesthetic and are rarely practiced through any activism

They rarely obsess over refining their art to truly become great or hustle their ass off to find commercial success. They rarely do any self sacrifice to work hard at something they don't like to self sustain the material conditions they wish for of endless matcha lattes/art supplies and an apartment in the most desirable and expensive parts of the countries. They always act so superior for being a "creative" against people working boring jobs as if they weren't only able to live their current lifestyle because their parents also did boring jobs or were straight up capitalists

Who's going to tell them that every country with a successful revolution people still worked 40-60 hours at boring/hard fucking jobs and they likely still wouldn't be a writer, musicians, painter, etc.

In fact their life would likely be even worse because they'd be less likely to have wealthy parents to coast off of
