Nice piece! John McWhorter walks along the same line in his book Woke Racism as your section covering bigotry of low expectations.

The funniest bit of it all is watching the "Elites" rediscover the core principles religion has been preaching under the guise of 'science and data' as if they're geniuses.

The only question they can't answer is how to justify inequality in society, and that's their biggest cross that they can't bear, and is leading to the rallying of the far right (nearly) everywhere into a source of centralized power they at least can *believe* in.
