I do understand that. I'm using it as a descriptor vs the marxist definition.

Like middle class people act bourgeois.

I'm not really trying to get into the specifics of it as I don't really give a shit if I'm offending some rich dude that's larping as a prole on here.

i mean someone making 400k a year is nearly certainly collecting some sort of rent, through stocks or owning their house which increases in value, or even just the bank. they still work but theyre also basically literally always rent seekers of some kind (this is all forms of interest, although a lot are literal landlords too).
