I strong-upvoted this out of the negative because it seemed disproportionate for it to be there; I think it has some flaws as an answer and it might’ve been better as a comment, but there are other answers that are just as shaky on an explanatory level. (Though I don’t think some of the adversarial framing is doing it any favors.)
My intuition is that there’s a strong underlying point here, even if the surface markers have run afoul of some memetic antibodies. I’d love to see a better framing of this and better-explained actual counters if they’re there; if the latter are part of local canon, they haven’t propagated to me. “spirals of inequality leads to spirals of distrust” as a central thesis certainly plays well enough with some of the EEA-psychology and historical-cycles modeling on the surface.
I had the feeling I wasn’t really managing to throughly explain the background of evidence behind my point, and I can definitely see that my writing style has slipped into showing my annoyance toward these issues in several points.
I’ll be careful not to make the same mistakes when I’ll write about it in the future.

Thank you very much for your feedback.
