Me after working retail: I can tell if you own a house by the way you speak. We are members of different species.

    Bad take: the middle class exists but most people have no idea what it actually is. The middle class are the property and business owners, the upper class are government officials, the millionaires, and technocrats. So when I say kill the middle class, just know I mean it.

      So the middle class is 1% of the population and the upper class is 0.01%. Seems like dedication to outdated terminology rather than useful descriptors.

        Like a lot of our political terms it comes from France when there was a lot of political strife between merchants and aristocrats. I think a modern definition of class should be rich and poor. Very easily the millionaires are excluded, and so should like the managers at McDonald’s and shit not for being rich but for being class traitors.
