I'm not saying those things don't happen. I'm just saying they're the tip of the iceberg. The part below the waterline - the part that does the real damage - is the vastly greater numbers of middle-class and poor people, and the reasons why they behave the way they do. The glittery ice on top barely matters. The real problems are the advertising and finance industries which were way oversized since long before tech came along, an educational system that leaves most people vulnerable to their manipulation, and politicians who make the whole situation worse with their misguided (or venal) policy making. Maybe callous condescension makes some people feel better about themselves, but it's really not very helpful.
