"Successful professionals" is of a piece with "unprovoked invasion" and "Russian propaganda", i.e. patent professional-managerial class propaganda. I suspect your notions of "usefulness" are particular to your class mission and your personal right to feel altruistic and superior in conserving capitalist relations, and to respect them would be, shall we say, unwarranted.

Anyway, there is no "truth", only slave theory and emotional manipulation.
