I try to post in-depth and reasoned comments to this exact point whenever someone in my social circle posts ranty "news" articles, but they just get completely flat-out ignored.

I've never seen anyone argue that this elite vs the rest pickpocketing isn't actually happening and (what we call) the culture war is the real battle.

It would be helpful if there was, because then I could try to understand the mindset behind the dismissal of our view— it's driving me crazy.
