I'm really confused by the uncompromising binary between class and identity in this thread. Like ... can't access to money and marginalized identity both affect an individual? Maybe they even affect individuals in slightly different (sometimes compimentary) ways? https://twitter.com/BootlegGirl/status/1230255730533584898 …

It’s the fifth one. That’s easy.

Certainly seems like it sometimes (See: recent Nascar discourse)

Because by two of these measures I'm working class, but no one treats me like it, and by three of them I'm bourgeoise and thus scum who deserves no help, despite the other two measures (current income and authority). That's why I find this discourse alienating

Class is whether you make most of your money by selling your labour or by renting property you own
-
What if you do neither?

Seems like they all play a part tbh. As well as what your profession even is, bc I know couples who make six digits apiece that will always be at the lower end of the class spectrum bc of how people view the kinda work they do

And then there's professions that have so much social cache, it doesn't really matter how much money you make.

I've been annoyed by the education one the more I think about it. Because professors and teachers barely make any money. And students are infamously poor, especially at a time when folks were lied to abut the need for degrees as a business model. Neither's seen as working class.

By net capital the highly educated are the poorest, by virtue of eternal student loans
