People see leftists as people that became so by going to an expensive university that their parents paid for.
There’s almost always a “hello fellow children” vibe with leftists, and many times they look down their noses at people in the working class for not appreciating how smart and generous they’re being for helping out he little people with their brilliant dialectics.
But working class people aren’t stupid, they all know the university leftists aren’t really dedicated to any real change it’s just about fitting in with their university friends. The 20 something university leftists of today turn into the asshole managers when they hit their 30s. Either that or they become professors that teach the next generation of wealthy shits that they need to say some bullshit socialist platitudes when they’re young. It’s important for the well-being of the wealthy so they won’t feel guilty about being so wealthy later on in life because they “tried to tell the stupid peasants, they just wouldn’t listen!”

Making sweeping biases based on the commentary of a single individual is either someone justifying their own prejudices or the hallmark of an unintelligent person.
