    I wonder how many of the people upvoting are themselves upper middle class, living super priviledged lives compared to the vast majority of humans on the planet.

    “I am living within reasons, look at him”, has always been the favourite strategy for shifting middle class guilt.

      There you go, attack your allies. Not even upper class, just upper middle class. We’re so wealthy I can afford to take my family to the local artisanal Pizza place! Our RAV4 is the hybrid edition! Can’t afford private school, but our public schools are nice!

      It’s us versus them my man. I’m a lot closer to poor than I am to a private jet.
