I think there is some truth about Tate's comment on some adolescent/young adult male from middle-class families (i'd add: without cultural capital, and remove the color denominator as in my country, social class seems to have way more incidence). Nobody really care about them, or empathize with them, to the extent than before a debate i had with someone with opposing views on a lot of things, i myself was thinking about coinbros, guys in the hustler University or scammed into giving money to fake Elon musk something like: they have money to spent, they will loose some and get help from their parent at some time. But in fact, they aren't really middle class. Some of them are and will get support, some think they are and will get burned hard (or have their parent and close families suffer). They are targeted by the same scams the 70s-90s housewives were: they have holes in their education, a strong external belief system, are an easy demographic to target and just got access to money and don't know what to do to get more. So instead of madoff-like scams, MLMs with beauty products and other "housewivy" stuff, and revolving credits "get money now to make money later" its now crypto and Get Rich quick schemes sold for 50 dollars a month. Basically the same scams, just a different audience. But while it is easy to get empathy for housewives who just got the right to have their own bank account, drive alone (my grandmother had fun anecdata about this, my grandfather was 20 year ahead of time) and go to a movie unsupervised, it is a bit harder to have some empathy for the new target of those. Because they are somehow like me, only with a bit more money at birth, in a more centralized place, and the fundamental attribution error is hard to get rid of as it stroke my ego, when it was mostly luck and amazing parenting (and having great parents is luck too when i think about it).
