It’s not about spending money on things because we “don’t deserve” them. It’s because when you know where every dollar is going, it seems much more practical to use an old cool whip container as Tupperware.

working class people will also occasionally buy something fancy, or inherit items from other family members? Like yeah I get that there’s a frugality mindset, but it’s not like working class people who don’t use old cool whip containers are suddenly middle class.

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.

I’m not being patronisingly told that ‘class is complex’ on a thread where I literally called for more nuance and fewer generalisations about class.

Fuck nuance. Some of these generalizations are true, and just because you misread
@jillian_kern doesn’t make you the leading most expert on class intersectionality (with an English degree?) Thanx.3 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

No, the generalizations aren’t true, nuance is important (which you were saying a few tweets back exists), and she came in making generalizations without stating initially it was her own experiences. And how the fuck does English degree = no knowledge on class? The fuck?

I dunno, I'm willing to believe her own experiences are probably broader than just her own family? I'm assuming everyone in this thread is responding based on ideas they have from more than just their own household.

Yes, well I certainly am. Growing up my situation was much different compared to others I went to school with, which was different to my older brothers and then also my parents and their parents, and my extended family.

This whole time me and Florence have been pushing back against stereotypes about middle class people because experiences vary wildly and we get hit with this classist shite from someone also wc.

But listen if I see someone saying water glasses are middle class, I’m gonna say something.
