I can't help but wonder if this is intentionally ironic.

(From TFA: "There's a certain kind of person who's attracted to a shallow, exacting kind of moral purity, and who demonstrates his purity by attacking anyone who breaks the rules.")

I think it’s intentional and ironic. But I don’t think PG realizes what he did. I throughly believe he’s in the space of “I can do it because i am morally superior. But other folks can’t because they don’t get it like I do.” I get this feeling from reading not just this, but his other essays too.

> I can do it because i am morally superior. But other folks can’t because they don’t get it like I do.

I think it’s more of “I can do it because I can afford it. But other folks can’t because they need their job (or something similar).”
