safely sodomized posted:the "traditional" working class are industrial wage laborers lmao no The defining factor of the middle class as it was understood when it first emerged was specifically that they weren't tied to wage labor. Wage labor is working class and always has been. Associating industrial wage labor with the 'middle class' is a marketing concept that helps to keep working people divided.

 even then this is still misleading since it's a small slice of the top 20% that controls most of that wealth

SKULL.GIF posted:something like 90-95% of the country is working class of varying levels of comfort, 4-9% is actual lower middle class but mostly still anchored to their careers, 1% is upper middle class, and 0.1% control almost all the loving money "upper middle" is just middle class "lower middle" is just a polite way to say working class or poor a good indicator of middle class is if you work for a living but your job isn't grinding you down physically, allowing you to potentially work it into your 70s working class people get on disability once their jobs break them these days. trump gonna fix that tho

Guess what idiots? Everyone is poor because we tricked the middle class to spend like the rich so they are house poor keeping up with the jones' and giving money to the people who own private schools and land. We all hosed but some of us have bay windows and vaulted ceilings above us when we cry about crippling debt.

euphronius posted:Jimmy the cashier isnt middle class assuming he has no college education and isnt like 17 years old. My wife and I aren't middle class by the traditional definition either despite being educated and making 91st percentile money, because we are tied to our job. In particular my wife requires very expensive medication and I'm limited in where I can move because of that. Money is all that matters. Education and what you do are meaningless.

anyway part of the real problem is right here this is honestly "flaming torches and pitchforks" level of fuckery on a mass scale and yet we silently let it happen while the politicians reassured us with smooth slick words about how we were still middle class, once this is fixed then it's possible to start fixing the horrible wealth distribution gaps

No you are exactly middle class. I agree tho that using your idiosyncratic definition that no one else uses you are not because I guess that makes you feel more ethical? idk. I agree I guess that you are applying your idiosyncratic definition correctly. Hooray.

safely sodomized posted:did you actually mean middle class here cus otherwise none of your posts make sense. Euphronius is insisting that education, what you do, etc figure into whether or not you're middle class in America now it doesn't All that matters with regards to class consciousness or class perception in America is how much money you have. If you've got enough money America will trip over itself to accommodate you. If you're broke it doesn't matter where you were educated or what your dad did. Money is all that matters anymore.
