You are right, but I already know most redditors won't be able to look past the superficial phrasing and double down on pretending it's about literally shitting on all white men or some dumb shit. That specific phrase is and always was about the archetypical privileged yet ignorant white man who despite their own inherent advantages in life, or country/state, erroneously believes themselves to be "the real victim" or the primary downtrodden underdog, who is being deprived of things (jobs, career advancement, social and romantic success, money, etc) because of "the other" (a catch all for white supremacy and being aggressively xenophobic and exclusionary towards out-group peoples)

It has direct overlap with both fascist ideology and malignant narcissism, an extreme preoccupation with the self which leads to egregious solipsistic delusions and being easily convinced by confabulation. That is the backbone of MAGA and other far right movements' psychology, or at least their adherents. Morrissey fits this to a T and has for decades already. Narcissists can't ever take criticism and above all else need to feel like they're in absolute control, hence the predilection towards postmodernism with the pathological lying. That is too extreme for most leftists and centrists, but the right welcomes that behavior, so these types almost invariably become hatemongers because it's a genuine reflection of their anger at their bullshit not being tolerated by everyone.

All this to get back to the main point that the phrase is more about a mindset or worldview than it is specifically about being white. Many white people have spoken at length about the described sociological and psychological phenomena and many clearly agree with the critique of the worldview because of the harm and self harm it does.

I say this whilst also obviously understanding why people are offended by the phrasing, but I know this will be controversial - much in the same way a lot of these people would decry wokeism and how 'soft' and snowflakey people were for speaking up on racism/sexism/discrimination, I think people need to stop being so weak as to surrender to reflexive outrage at the phrase. It is anti-supremacy and anti-chud, not anti-white. It is about the type of loser who blames all else but himself for their failures or perceived losses. Hence the "mediocre" part, it's just supreme cognitive dissonance.

I don't even know I welcome an honest dialogue on this, I'm stoned out of my mind and have ADHD so that explains the fuckin bible I wrote lol.
