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????
Working class has been recuperated to mean a cultural/aesthetic signifier now, not an actual class. At least in the popular consciousness.
hmm wonder why the PMC media would create that impression? :soviet-hmm:

Why are there so many like this
Must be a suburbs thing. I've never met anyone like this, but I do see them in large southern cities in the burbs, typical middle class haunts, etc.
Or a 40 year old aspiring police officer
"blue collar" vs "white collar" its literally described as an aesthetic difference
:yea:
