    I’m seeing quite a bit of “You deserved it” right now. Lots of “Actually, I just avoid buying things, so now the higher prices don’t bother me” cope all over /r/conservative and like-minded reactionary media.

    Poverty fetishism, cottage-core influencing, a proliferation of reactionaries in DIY spaces, and always a healthy supply of “we just didn’t go far enough” revanchism has been trending for a while, but its seeing a new renaissance with the looming recession.
