in laymans terms, lazy trustfund kids who've lived cosseted lives and have no concept of hardship or how ordinary folk have to survive. They are generally gullible and as thick as two short planks. see just stop oil members etc.

champagne socialists are wealthy middle or upper class new labour types
lamenting child poverty while checking on their second investment poverty. it's a fine epithet.
however, what they're not is dirty, just stop oil activists. They're pretty much the polar opposite in insult terms. Like calling someone a rapist and a virgin

I suspect we are talking about the same people but I'm being specific about their offspring. I think they used to be called crusties... pretending they are homeless but always have the option to move back in with mum and dad.
You'll find a few good examples out in the wild in this video. Ultimate boss shows up at 27:49.

i wouldn't mistake my less confusing take on these stereotypes for sympathy with your daily mail like worldview
I'd say a posh kid involving himself in homelessness causes is probably a more lauadable path than selling dodgy pensions, whatever his resources or motivation (and my view is young blokes get into most things from goth to guerilla gardening in the off-chance of sinking their saveloy)

Heaven forbid we should ever agree on anything... ever. My worldview comes from my lifes experiences rather than blindly following whatever shite they feed us in the media. I also today learned that gothic gardening is a thing. :)
