Wtf are you talking about “priveleged”?

Many people worked day and night to become a well paid engineer. And some rich founders of companies still do, coming from nothing.

I’ve seen way more people struggling with mental health issues largely from overwork and stress than overly privileged. I think I’ve once or twice worked with an engineer that was kinda lazy but that’s out of hundreds of people I’ve worked with closely over the years. The only people who gain from calling engineers lazy and privileged are executives. All it does is widen the stick used to flog you.

also commies and alternatively-minded people

Who says commies these days in all seriousness? Alternatively minded people sounds like something out of a Facebook boomer fever dream.

why so serious? :)
