I think sovcit is what happens when you recognize all of these things about our society, but lack the class consciousness to know that we need to act collectively and not hyperindividually
Definitely a significant part of it. Another aspect is definitely that of the conspiratorial/magical thinking that lets you believe that your exceptionalism has led you to find the secrets to easy and happy life that everyone else is just too dumb to see.
It's pretty classical conspiratorial thinking in that sense: That idea of occult understanding, hidden knowledge... all fits with the gnostic mysticism that preceded it.
this is the part I have the most trouble dealing with, not only are they delusional but they're maniacally happy about their delusions and are assured that they're just so fucking clever.
Wow, this just reframed them in a profound way. It's so obvious that I hadn't considered it. Thanks!
