"Anyone who takes 6 months of paternity leave is a loser"
"I had to flee SF, the city literally built in my VC image, because someone said some mean words to me"
These people are a parody of themselves. Talent-less rich kids, spending other people's money all day, and so incredibly insecure they have to constantly find ways to belittle anyone who doesn't treat them like a genius. Narcissism run rampant, and spreading everywhere they decide to touch down on their endless journey away from the consequences of their own behavior.
I think it is individualism more than straight-up narcissism, but the two go closely hand-in-hand. But I do think there is a difference between people who have been enculturated to not need (or think they need) community and people who would only participate in community if they could be the leader.
