He'll tire eventually.

I don't know if that is a specific necessity. While the functional distinctions are clear. When you look at the #metoo for example the stresses on the lives of rich proles are often very similar to the "proper proles" the differences are more about quality than kind. We just have shittier versions of the same problems. However if we call them petite bourgeoisie and write them off, how many people are we actually losing?

From a tactical perspective I think the inequality of america is getting to where we don't need them to make a mass movement. Medicare for all and concrete plans to make things better will win some of them over. Are there enough middle managers to make a difference as a voting bloc?

I like the wobblies' definition of working class. If you can hire or fire people, you're management. That also happens to be the most relevant power in #metoo.
