Complaining about complaining: The purview of the privileged (and those who virtue signal to them)

Complaining about complaining is deeply self-contradictory--On the logical level of making themselves the barber who want to shave all but only those who don't shave themselves.

If you complain about wait-staff complaining about their low-pay, why complain about wait-time and bad service too?

There are only a little over three-thousand billionaires in the world of about 8 billion people. The high profile ones complain how they are dealing with "hate" on public forums. When that "hate" is usually just people fighting for socio-economic justice (as is in human nature to do). There are all the high profile centi-millionaires who also virtue signal to the billionaires, and people of lower socio-economic status doing the same to higher(also in human nature to do). This, I think, is the origin of both the "snowflake" and "woke" tropes. If you got "canceled", welcome to the club of people who have not been a "cultural fit" for ages now.

The list is too long to try even a decent attempt at, but I thought we could just highlight deeply self-contradictory complaining about complaining
