    American culture wars make no sense and these broscialist weirdos are just amplifying it. There's a stereotype that Starbucks baristas are highly educated, yet unwilling to do "real work" like construction, manufacturing, or agriculture. The average chud will believe a pool supply company owner who drives an expensive Ford truck is more working class than a Starbucks barista with blue hair who lives in a large city.

    It makes no sense at all and is some kind of aesthetics battle. The easiest way for me to frame it is just white patriarchal heteronormativity. Some jobs are manly, some jobs are gay. If you work around dirt and lift things, then you're manly and straight and cool. If you have a gay liberal arts degree and do gay things like make coffee, then you're gay and you don't have a real job. That's honestly as far as it goes for the average American.

      Yeah, people are lining up for a job where you stand 10+ hours a day getting yelled at by boomers because you spelled their name wrong.
