As decades of propaganda and reaction has done it's best to beat any kind of class consciousness out of people's heads, the class has gone from being understood as a well-defined scientific term to being an incoherent mess of meaningless market segments.

The guy who owns a construction company is "working class" because he drives a pickup truck and doesn't like gay people while the teacher who will never be able to afford children of her own is not because she went to college and has a BLM bumper sticker on her car. Who can take that crap serious?
