    Working class has been recuperated to mean a cultural/aesthetic signifier now, not an actual class. At least in the popular consciousness.

      You mean the 40 year old asshole who owns a landscaping company, drives a lifted f-150, listens to all the latest country hits, wears a pristine condition Carhartt jacket, has Salt Life, Trump 2020, and thin blue line punisher skull bumper stickers, and owns a lakefront property and a boat isn't working class????

      But he's a genuine, masculine southern guy! He drives a big truck - and those can haul things! He swears he uses it to haul things! He wears jeans to work! That's what working class is, right????

      "blue collar" vs "white collar" its literally described as an aesthetic difference
