Ok I’ll bite. Yes lolbrooks guy doesn’t exactly have a great reputation.

Urbanization isn’t a new trend and super managers have been breeding for a while.

But class stratification between red and blue is real imo. These days Red folks and Blue folks seem to have stratified pretty hard and red folks of all classes think that they are under attack. That perception allows rich red folks to consolidate power and not spend as much effort keeping poorer red folks down. They can then use that consolidated force to strike down blue values in a somewhat coordinated fashion.
