On a camping forum I once in a while frequent, a couple were complaining about a slightly newer camper they bought that’s literally falling apart because of manufacturer’s defects. People were attacking them for essentially being poor and not being able to make the fixes themselves. It was insane. This seemingly nice, older couple spent what little they had on what is one of the cheaper ways to travel and get around - and the entitled community was just shitting on them. Pretty much just pounced.
Americans love to punish the victims of capitalism. It’s fucking nuts.
Yeah, I think this is the main thing that motivates the just world fallacy
Outdoor enthusiast groups seem to be some of the worst for this these days. I’m guessing because the gear is expensive and fashionable now, as well as a lot of white collar tech people flocking to it as an aspirational lifestyle thing.
I love camping and backpacking, I hate the elitist trust fund granola types so much. Backpacking/hiking gear is getting fashionable, so I can only afford used/REI garage sale gear, I hate it so much
