Kind of heartbreaking to see, especially when you know they don't have family money and their social skills aren't up to cutthroat GC standards. 40 years ago they'd have normal unionized blue collar jobs or do office work and end up as the archetypal Boomer "Bob/Barb in Accounting". In their spare time they'd do model train sets or HAM radio, maybe the occasional sci-fi convention. Their generation just got cockslapped. I really like them and try to be nice to them.

I've noticed this as well. And I am friends with some of this type. In my experience they have just the wrong impressions about the system and how things work and how people get ahead. almost this hopeless naivety

I think it's the influence of gaming, at least with many. If you achieve a new power level or something, you automatically get the new weapon. If you communicate well with your team, you defeat the boss. But in IRL GC hellscape, boss defeats you!
