This is exactly what they do to social movements that threaten their bottom line.

Social media has put a new spin on keeping up with the Joneses.

Exposure to glorified lifestyles online has left many people, especially young adults, feeling financially inadequate, even if they’re doing relatively well, reports show.

This is a complete mockery of what dysphoria means to people . They know exactly what they’re doing by watering down and purposefully misusing “dysphoria” to mean “oh you’re actually doing great why are you so sad?” It’s sadistic.

Yeah the spin is bullshit but this is expected in an economy with massive inequality. As the scraps left over by the elite shrink, you can be doing relatively well compared to most others, but still living on the edge.
