Yes, as you just stated you are primarily concerned with materialism and by introducing “income inequality” into any and every discussion, similar to a vegan talking food, you signal that you promote virtue despite not understanding that a good life is much more than material concerns. If it is not “virtue signaling” as I did not put it, than what is your motivation for continuing the cyclical social structure of income and “proper” stuff? You and anyone, even the “people” for whom you wish to demonstrate concern, can step off the hedonic treadmill anytime you want.
