      class and violence v0 underclass: social and predatory violence pervasive proletariat: occasional social violence; professional violence (cops, soldiers) lower middle class: professional violence (managerial; eg, police management)

      upper middle class: violence is verboten and banished from all spheres upper class: violent, but indirectly unless a private sociopath. Direct others (lower middle, proletariat) to use violence on their behalf

      the utter tabooing of violence by the upper middle class is interesting and i bet unusual and i also suspect a major, major blind spot

      in this scheme probably lower middle people with extensive experience with firearms as a Pursuit are culturally are probably mostly lower middle cash and acumen and free time to get really good at it

      yes, think so - mostly having fun by education / profession / conscientiousness / etc, I am upper middle and every post-college peer has been entirely anti-violence, but I sort of like it and make a conscious decision for Heinleinian reasons to avoid blindspot & not shy away

      Where does studying martial arts put someone? Many of the people who pursue that tend to be of the same mindset or abilities as gun owners. They have free time and money to dedicate to the pursuit. I think the type of school you go to tells you a lot about it.

      martial arts are tolerated like lifting weights is tolerated, slightly less so even you get side-eyed at least

      Interesting, as attending a fencing school which put you through an exercise regimen, taught hand to hand skills, rapier, rapier and dagger, rapier and buckler and so on was very much an upper class thing in Europe some time in the past.

          a general guide to class is that if takes special expensive equipment and can only be done with other rich people using expensive equipment, it's high class. Quiet is good. if it's affordable or loud, low class polo vs hockey sailings vs motorboats fencing vs boxing / MMA

          Yup, the Marquess of Queensberry rules fame didn't even write them. He only endorsed them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marquess_of_Queensberry_Rules …

          Can confirm. My son and I both box competitively and our upper middle class friends switch between the surprised/offended/shocked “oh my god” look and “how sad/what a pity” look, when I talk about it.

          That's such a weird way of thinking to me because it's a moralistic judgement which I have no shared basis of culture to understand why they get there.
