As you say, they think we have it all because we tell them that we do. And we do that because we pretend to ourselves that we can. We watch property porn, even we know that never in a million years can we have a house like those. We think that we can. We seek not to eliminate the class divides, but to cross them. We seek more material wealth, not because we need it but so that we can look down on others. And then we have the nerve to tell those who are really dispossessed that this is the way they should live.
