This is a psychological reaction from the upper middle class who are reliant on all sorts of societal structures that they simply couldn't imagine existence without, and imagine only a super human of some kind could do these things. It is really no different than the king looking down on his peasants and assuming they must have some kind of super human abilities to withstand such a miserable life. Things like abolishing private property, money, police are totally outside the realm of imagination. How would society exist without churches or slave masters? I can't even imagine a world without Starbucks.

I’ve had 6 different notifications from Ring in the pass 16 minutes of people asking when their power is gonna turn on. I live in a Suburban area and nothing is remotely “rural”. Having lived in the East Coast, dealing with hurricanes, no power/running water, all while being snowed in, the rains and wind rn in the Bay Area is nothing compared to what was considered “normal” in the east coast. People out here can’t go 30mins without complaining on having no power. Idk what would happen if Wi-Fi was down for 4 days (longest ive been without power) It blows my mind.
