Just like how the Cancel Crowd invalidates everyone who is not of their ilk and then they turn on one another when someone in their midst deviates on a single point. There is a social hierarchy over at Mercedes-Benz where if you have a C-Class or some other “Entry Level” MB, you have to come in through the servant’s door. One day while I had my Sprinter at the shop I overheard a snooty woman disparaging owners of the lesser Mercedes-Benz cars. Since I don’t need any new friends, I butted in with, “My Mercedes has a Queen bed and a flush toilet…. does yours?” But then, I almost descended to the level of condescension watching a YouTube channel where a young So-Cal dude turned his 2022 BRZ into a non-street legal Ricer-mobile. I was going to add a comment about how he should move out of his parents house and get a real job and that a YouTube channel is not a career unless you have a very large loyal following. Dad might want to park his car in his garage. Then I read comments from the devotees who unanimously approve with, “Dope” and “Sick”. Apparently that means good stuff, so anything I might say would definitely make me out to be the Troll. I’ll leave that to the police who write a citation nearly every time he hits the street.
