I’m sorry but rhetoric like this implies every frivolous purchase a working class person makes is financial mismanagement. You’re implying I must not be truly poor because I have wine glasses. That’s a major pillar of classism

No one implied that. We’re just saying that in our experience, salad tongs and glasses are something a middle-class family owns as necessities. Our working class families might think of them as special occasion wear.

Class is complex. In my field, we usually use education as a good indicator of middle-class status. We’re not implying that there’s a clear line where you suddenly become middle class; how people identify is important.

Using ‘education’ to define class is the most classist thing I’ve ever heard. What counts as education? Formal qualifications? Reading books? Learning skills? Jesus Christ so much implicit classim here, I’m out.
