USAmericans will literally live in a trailer working 3 jobs for $7 an hour surviving off gas station food and still call themselves ‘middle class.’
Here in the UK if you’re middle class you’re probably a neurosurgeon with a stable-barn and a mansion big enough to have its own name. US middle class is our working class.
Not got owt to say about it, just really fuckin weird innit. I’ve had a few USAmericans describe me as middle class and I’m like mate… I make half of what you do lol
EDIT: I have since been corrected on this!!! Please stop reblogging this without checking the notes first, I was quite wrong!!!

Any understanding of class that derives from mid-20th century Britain, United States, or Canada is probably wrong. And that’s a problem because that’s where most people get their ideas about class.
If you look further back, middle housing (townhomes, condos, apartments, triplexes, quadplexes, etc) are where the middle class historically found themselves living (usually, there are exceptions). Suburbs are mostly new and they are extremely wasteful. The idea that people lived in single family homes or even semi-detached housing with large green outdoor spaces (as opposed to shared courtyards) just strikes me as very, very silly and very, very American.
A better, more honest, more accurate description of the decline of the middle class is not just the disappearance of middle housing—it’s how much middle housing has deteriorated qualitatively. We no longer consider that apartments can be big enough to raise families in. Nor do we consider that they should be well-made enough to hold up to decades of uninterrupted housing.
“Luxury” condos have nothing on early-20th brownstones of the working class. And that’s the problem.
I am having trouble reconciling the same people who rightly said that density over space are now claiming that the birthright of the middle class is the ownership of implied single family homes, presumably with spacious yards. No.
There is no class worth establishing that pines for the trappings of the rich. And there’s no need to establish it anyway, it already exists. That’s the upper middle class.
I cannot believe people are saying that waste is the only sign of being middle class that matters again. But, what’s worse, I can believe people are buying it.
Anyone who says that is no better than the TikTokers who insist that $500 Shein hauls are a necessity and excess clothing (to the point of never wearing the same outfit twice) is a human right.

HINATA SHOYO; “my card company about to be pissed at me“
ONLY THE ELITE;
synopsis: y/n is stinking rich and shoyo is the complete opposite. what happens when y/n oddly falls for him despite her equally rich friends and boyfriend and introduces him to the fucked up life in hiroo
notes: yess new fic purrr. hiroo is actually a real place in japan where all the wealthy reside in. all characters are in the same school but all the private school people live in hiroo and the rest live in their respected areas! lowkey inspired by gossip girl 🤭🤭 not that much though bc im #creative or wtv (fat lie). this is all set in university! the schools will have the same names and the characters are still at the same schools, only thing that’s changed is their ages. classism and class divide is mentioned, cheating, drug use, veryyy illegal things fr, death, bullying, some things will be very unrealistic but who cares, violence, toxic relationships, all in all it’s just fucked up rich people dragging hinata 💀💀 that’s all i can think off, hope you enjoyyyy
prologue: get to know the top nine!

This was a compromise – it avoided swamping the male vote with women, kept the vote among property-owning classes, and divided women by class: property-owning women got the vote, poor women and married women whose houses were in their husbands' names did not.

Choosing a topic for my PHIL Practical Reasoning class and they're using a pre-made NYT topic list. I was enjoying the rich variety of interesting and frequently controversial topics when I saw the following:
I bluescreeened for a moment ...Did anyone ever actually think swear words are shocking???
Then I remembered NYT is based in New York and mostly has a middle/upper-class distribution. My family is from a series of very rural and very poor *Northern WI logging and fishing towns*...yeah you could say the culture is a bit different.
#hal rambles#usa culture#class divide#rural#urban#i feel like swearing is one of the most frequently talked about differences#but it's just so interesting from like a linguistics and sociology perspective#culture shock in my own nation#it is funny because I get to see a lot of the differences#since poor rural Northern WI and rich urban New England are pretty much as diametrically opposed as you can find in the US

Being trans is too often like: *comes out* oh wow I can't wait to experience all this change and bodily autonomy i see other people experiencing that would literally change/save my life 𝘸𝘰𝘸!"
Only to realize that this like everything else is mediated by capitalism and for the most part the mitigation you need is behind inaccessible pay-walls like $7500-15000 for surgical procedures and hundreds a month for hormones that are only covered in another state or country
People are being forced to compromise their safety and wellbeing to save for and have access to live affirming/saving medical care because they can't afford not to, people who don't have to pay for this are essentially winning the birth lottery.
These people just get to 𝘣𝘦 in a way that people who can't afford to don't there's no crisis because there was no price on self actualization it wasn't complicated everyone is likely just as excited to be their fullest selves and those who can't afford it can only share and traverse their experience of artificial scarcity

You said on our first date you thought I looked innocent. My friends think it’s cause I like pastels, and have big eyes.
You know now I’m not. You say you don’t care.
You don’t care how many people I may have been with in the past.
I don’t think your really get though why the thought of me being innocent is so laughable.
I never once viewed myself as innocent.
From a young age I learned how to lie to my mom and never stopped. I have always been willing to do whatever it takes of land on top. I have tons of old classmates that would go on and on about how I’m the last thing from innocent.
Later on when I was under your arm talking about something I can’t even remember you said I was very willing to do what needed to be done.
I was nervous for a second it would scare you. How I view the world is so different then how you see it.
You said you liked it and laughed.
It made me stay up late though, while you snored beside me. I thought of how different we were raised.
I’m worried one day your truly see what that means, and would be a lot less accepting. But for now I’ll hold you closer and try to go asleep.

'Rich people are just poor people with money,' my socialite boss said 15 years ago in New York. But it's not true. There is a culture of poverty and it's not bridgeable.
