The diagnosis was first made by John Steinbeck when he said, "Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires."
Symptoms include, but are not limited to, simping for million and billion dollar companies without any incentive, believing in the ability to pick oneself up by the bootstraps in spite of repeated failures to do so, writing off poor and homeless people as lazy regardless of context, believing in the Just World Phenomenon, and believing in pure meritocracy.
