i'm willing to wager that the overwhelming majority of privacy enhancing technology users are also members of various labor aristocracies like software engineers and it makes me wonder how much longer they'll be able to cling onto their petite bourgeois inclinations as the rest of the fascists do their best to crack down on usage.

Definitively lived this.
When you are poor is like if options did not exist and when you want something you are expected to have rich money and a wallet on fire if you want to be taken seriously in the face of those. Mostly seen this in north/central europeans and USonian circles.
Is like the expectation that if you are an illustrator por a designer you have to afford a Mac, own an iPhone and be dumb in tech because you want it easy and you have money and time (parents made it easy for you) so you can dedicate yourself to your passion.
When you dont have any of that "skill issue".
