Their the ones who brought on the industrial revolution, these guys cause a lot of change
The middle middle and lower middle class are lower ranking versions of this, having lower ranking professions that don’t require manual labor.
Working class are patriotic and loyal to their nation state
They obviously have to do manual labor to be called this
Farmers, factory workers, etc
Western nation states militaries still recruit most of their soldiers from the working class
Then the under class are criminals, druggies, and unintegrated migrants
Homeless etc
That’s Michel Woodley’s hypothesis
Hasn’t been tested, but on the face of it, seems reasonable to me.
Of course it isn’t perfect
By and large I think that all checks out, though I'd splice it even finer. I see a:
0.1% (ultra-rich)
0.9% (rich)
9% (never need to budget)
65-90%
45/50-65%
25-45/50%
Bottom 25%
Middle and working class can blur. You can do well by traditional manual labor or be making 35k scraping by at an office job, so I try and look at income as a proxy. The real fun begins when that quarter of the population between 65 band 90 (like myself) start to feel that the system is bullshit. Get a few 1% and 9% defectors and you get real change
What’s interesting is that the upper class and working class are ethnocentric and traditionalist. So they’ll work together against the middle class. This is populism which is good when it comes to dragging the merchant class back into submission. However it can lead to authoritarian forms of government.
Though, I’m not against populism
Fuck I’d rather live under a aristocracy with a monarchy than this system
Because I’d have more faith in a king then bought out politicians
But yeah, the middle class was broken down into subsets because it does blur.
Upper class is owners of corporations, middle middle is the high white collar jobs/ professional jobs and lower is standard corporate office drone
Office drone is probably a moderate
Then you climb higher and higher, you get more shit libs and libertarians
Depends. You can get an alliance of the very top and very bottom, like happened in Persia during the Mazdakite revolt or often in Rome with the Emperors and the People against the Senatorial class. But just as often it's a slow rot, where people accept policies that at first only effect the underclass but gradually move up the food chain until eventually people find themselves in positions that they think they're better than. When that happens, what form the reaction takes depends on whether the Left or the Right seizes the narrative first.
And I'm too much of a republican to ever accept a monarchy or inherited aristocracy but at least with that there wouldn't be any pretense of "meritocracy," and people would at least *pretend* to care about more than quarterly earnings and hedonistic consumption.
Yes, problem is that the globalist, capitalist class has united. Who were going to do so before the workers ever would have btw. So they could just buy out the monarchy
Or overthrow him etc
Imagine it like a beehive, you need a balance of all of these classes
Not too much of one
Where they all put their interests and align them
True. No one has more class consciousness than the wealthy. I agree with the corporatist cooperative model but that requires keeping the potential plutocrats on a much shorter leash than anyone else, because (as the liberalization of the 70s-90s showed) they cause by far the most destruction when broken loose from the bonds of the nation.
This was the cuckservatives biggest mistake. Thinking that you could ever have a stable and cohesive society while forcefully pushing a globalist, individualistic, "disruptive" economic force. It's a short and straight line between "fuck society it's my money" and "fuck society I'll identify as/marry who/do whatever I please."
Absolutely, Charlie Kirk hasn’t read the studies on ethnic diversity. Shit libs assume its good, he assumes it doesn’t matter. Both of these positions are wrong
Genetic similarity theory clearly shows that people discriminate and self segregate and have assorted mating
Again with the beehive analogy
Bees will discriminate
We see with increased diversity, communities are fractured and shattered. Trust, social capital, cohesion and engagement goes down
Nepotism increases
And the seeds of conflict are placed
And is this not what has happened with mass immigration all across the western world?
