We have legions of “losers” who take that in internally and blame themselves, and legions of Americans struggling to survive themselves who revel in the schadenfreude of being able to look down on the homeless, refusing to look up at their shared enemies in the little club who put both of them in their dire situations of slightly varying degree.
Basically “Whether or not I got mine, fuck you.”
A race to the bottom. The losers, aka the majority, are so busy looking for bigger losers to punch down, we won’t even consider solidarity in punching up at the wealthy interests intentionally propagating this for profit inhumanity.
You are spot on, except it’s even worse.
