Good article.

But I think it went slightly off the rails at one point. It's not only "white males worldwide" who feel unjustified entitlement. I mean, plenty of them do. But plenty of them don't, too.

It seems to me that it is the elites who are most prone to a sense of entitlement, and especially the children of the elites. Those with rich parents, or powerful parents, or both. (Though it can be their spouses, too - I'd consider "Karens" as a kind of unjustified entitlement.)

So to me, this one line felt like a drive-by culture war jab, in an otherwise good article.
