like, don't get me wrong the storming of the capitol by a bunch of right-wing zealots with the apparent complicity of the police is not a trivial event in itself and reveals a shocking vulnerability in the us state apparatus, but these guys aren't anywhere near organised or embedded or just basically *serious* enough to pull off an actual revolution/coup/whatever by themselves. if this is really turned into another war on terror idiot zone only based on further curtailing domestic liberties and allowing the mass surveillance to become overt, it's a loss for almost everyone

Listening to the part of the recent Chapo episode where they mentioned Anderson Cooper being an elitist piece of poo poo reminded me of one of the stranger liberal tendencies - normie liberals who aren't remotely well-off but are still elitist. So many working class liberals who also consume normie media and eat at normie restaurants, yet are still super elitist about stuff like Olive Garden or a certain subset of reality TV shows. It's like some sort of bizarre aspirational elitism. Like the liberal version of poor chuds who admire Trump.

It's like some sort of bizarre aspirational elitism. Like the liberal version of poor chuds who admire Trump. there's a lot going on here. many now-working-class-libs you speak of probably had it relatively anywhere from "working-poor but not destitute desperate impoverty" to "cul-de-sac cheap rear end "starter tract house" with facade of middle-class life" many often within whiteflighty-zones or adjunct regardless of wealth, generally only experiencing much of the outside world getting shuttled from chain to chain: the olive garden was your birthday party, or maybe you went to the chillis, or maybe the outback steakhouse. kids can feel and experience a sort of alienation of this fake manufacturering of happiness and society; but they don't understand it. It's something they later learn in college (or elsewhere/media) that sorry, well actually their life didn't have to be so alienated and poo poo growing up. that grows into a resentment of this alienating fakeish society. maybe you start to experience local ethnic community restaurants and other stuff and your eyes get open to Better Things Are Possible and such. then on more a practical-level if you get down to it, OG/outback/chilis/applebees are actually pretty loving expensive and usually same or more expensive than small-places. something like cheesecake factory is insanely rear end expensive. poor people aren't eating there regularly. so you can feel like you can poo poo on it moreso intending to poo poo on white-flight promised-land alienated-americana. and 100% applebees is pure loving trash. there's honestly no defending it. but ultimately when libs get elitist about chains it's really more a psychological reaction to the despair and promised-land alientation that they've wrought, or rather mentally correlated, with america and the mental anguish that they instinctively know they're completely powerless to have anything better so it's lashing-out that said gently caress libs who get elitist about fast food. irredeemable. gulag them all Xaris has issued a correction as of 21:00 on Jan 9, 2021 |

I'm not talking about the sort of person who prefers "ethnic restaurants" or whatever, but rather the sort of person who enjoys Outback while being elitist about McDonald's, or who watches plenty of random normie television while thinking that The Voice is trash for "Joe Public." I've only seen what I'm describing with older liberals, though, so it might be that this is just the older person version of the "condescends about eating at 'ethnic restaurants' and only listening to NPR" person (which seems more common among millenials and younger). edit: Basically why I called it "aspirational" is that it seems like it happens with people who really look up to the more "sophisticated" upper-middle class liberal Ytlaya has issued a correction as of 21:17 on Jan 9, 2021 |

Ytlaya posted:but rather the sort of person who enjoys Outback while being elitist about McDonald's i didn't mention reality TV but it's the same thing for at least millennial +/- type working-class libs, they also grew up with increasing quantity of reality tv having seen decline and profit-maximization of media from a kid, teen, through adulthood. it's a grotesque voyeurism chasing to form para-social relationships in face of being disconnected and alienated from any sort of society and community but humanity still instinctively craves it. so TV is there to re-sell that back to you on the cheap, particularly reality. When they get snobby about it, it's pretty much a reaction to their own lived experiences that they then despise that's what they had when it didn't need to be that way, and the powerlessness in face of it. so yeah i know a lot of younger libs who dislike expensive chain sit-downs and cable TV although i don't think it necessary comes from a place of elitism because they probably don't see it that way and rather lived-experienced the symptoms and use tat as a correlation = causation.
