Not disagreeing with anything you’ve said, but the “one professor in particular” was from a working class background. Among other things we bonded over was being the first in our families to pursue higher education, and how he didn’t talk to his family anymore and I looked forward to cutting contact myself.

Individuals don’t make systems. For a working class person to rise to their ranks, they must assimilate ideologically. Which your professor did.

But yeah besides that. I had similar experiences with people I looked up to, whom I thought were incredibly thoughtful and wise - but then showed their incredibly childish and disconnected worldview.
