These editorials all have a common fault which is that they fail the sniff test of “would you actually do this”. I don’t know if you would call it classism, or an attempt at manipulation, or what, it’s just weird.

It’s like - okay, I’ll have a wife and kids, go fishing with the boys, a house with a garden, a car, will fly on holidays etc, but “we” (real meaning: you) should use all of these weird technological bad substitutes.

The literal embodiment of the “eat bugs and be happy” meme.

They know this as well as you do. They don’t have to worry about trying to hide it any, because they know it’s too late for you to do anything about it. The quiet part is often said out loud now.
