You know, you are correct.

You absolutely could be toxicly positive from a position of basically 0 privilege, such as maybe an ascetic who thinks that the solution to the problems of poverty is to actually embrace or accept suffering, and not do anything to change it.

We do seem to agree though that toxic positivity is a persistent attitude and mindset, at least.
