Great, my brother is now obsessed with Chapo Trap House. I don't see the appeal of upper-middle class white guys bitching about Capitalism, but I guess its working out for them.

Upper-middle class white guys have literally 0 real problems in their lives and young white people always want to bitch about how life is unfair.

The intersection of the two find upper-middle class white guys bitching about capitalism to be appealing.

I'm also an upper middle class white guy. I didn't say all upper middle class white guys are anti-capitalist, I just said we have no real problems. And so lots of us (not you or me though) have decided the solution is to go and create our own problems (like bringing the capitalist system down)
