I have a weird idea. Much of what I see the left promoting is very luxury. A luxury can be a fast food visit, a new console, or some cool new item. It's not necessary, but it's fun. The prices of these are going up.
Necessity items are gas, electricity, food in the fridge, and internet. The prices for these are going down.
There's a weird upper middle class that wants necessities as luxuries. This is the "Farmers Market" fresh, Whole Foods, and gaming PCs for work. The price going up makes them feel better, because they think the value goes up as well.
No idea how to explain this to a lefty.
It is a lot stranger than you think. The elite left, the limousine liberals, want exactly this, for two fold reasons: they are not affected financially by increased prices, and they are integrated into the systems that will financially profit from those items increased prices. The working class left, their base [aside from the leeching foreign brownoids] believe that adopting the elites beliefs means they are brought into the fold and are in the elite class themselves.
"Luxury beliefs" they are called. Which are low/zero cost to actual elite leftists, but the working class leftists are so concerned about their status that they signal their alignment with the elites at a determent to themselves. They would rather signal to others that they are in a higher status than they really are than admit to themselves [or others], that they are affected.
That is how much the average leftists hates themselves, their real status, and their fellow men.
