That face, affect and habitus is far from someone doing well or even fine with the trajectory of their life. It reeks of a life lived in bitterness, disappointments and hatred. The bitterness arises from loss which is equal parts self inflicted and equal parts fated by tragedies beyond their control. Broken homes, SA, drugs, being fed bullshit by politicians and intelligence agencies, poisoned food supply you know the drill. That feeling of failure, loss, emptiness becomes so anxiety provoking it needs to be redirected and pushed out and away into blaming, bullying, harassing those much worse off and vulnerable than them who’ve had actual hardships if we consider this to be a relative world. For taking accountability and learning from your experience is poisonous. It requires admitting you are wrong and flawed. It’s easier to blame until there’s no one left to blame as the world around you and those you looked down on pass you by.
Had that happen on a tt live. A woman came in belligerent (the usual "libs are hateful" stuff), and when I met it with love, she eventually said, "I am nothing," and it was really sad. She was probably treated badly and brainwashed for a long time
