Iunno sometimes it just all vibes and a post like this kind of gives me a similar reaction

Idk, this literally sounds like aesthetics-based class analysis. Might as well think someone with a pick-up truck is automatically ‘working class’.

I feel like my attitude is overwhelmingly common amongst the people i grew up with and people who dont have it didnt come from poverty.

That’s why this website with an enormous middle class streak is rejecting it lol

The corpus of comments on this post prove to me utterly that even the epic communists who are middle class are spoiled brats who feel the need to lecture everyone whenever someone expresses envy and resentment of their class position.

I’m not disagreeing that it is the predominately popular attitude, especially among the working poor, what I am saying is that it’s a poor method of class analysis that deliberately obfuscates things you have in common with other working class individuals, things that could potentially lead to solidarity and revolutionary class struggle. Not that it is particularly likely in the U.S.

I understand the frustration and anger of not ‘being recognized’ for having the right opinions. Or the intellectual babying that is done towards the upper-middle ‘class’. But there is still some value in remembering the parable of the prodigal son. It’s just there is no farm for those in poverty to materially still have, unfortunately, so it’s not really a one-to-one.
