      In terms of raw numbers, a Wall Street trader with millions of dollars in debt has lower wealth than some retail worker with $200 in the bank, or some homeless person currently holding thirty cents Does that reflect their real class position, do you think https://twitter.com/WahidSakaKhan/status/1335770052264677376 …

      Jesus Christ even the *word* "class" in the English language has multiple definitions for exactly this reason Back in the day it was widely accepted that you could be a member of the "aristocratic class" even if you were currently penniless

          Which Americans liked to make fun of as silly nonsense but obviously held truth to it There are lots of people with "no money" who will nonetheless not actually go hungry or homeless There are lots of "non-pecuniary assets" and "hidden revenue streams"

          This is what people talk about with "class privilege" blurring invisibly into other kinds of privilege A lot of white kids who went to good colleges trying to make it as an actor in LA or whatever are technically "broke" But "If you called your dad he could stop it all"

          The cold truth of it is that hereditary social class still exists even if the peerage and titles don't exist In the taxman's eyes you might be broke but if you have access to your parents' money if you really need it and ask really nice when you call, then that's also your money

          And it goes beyond that too, if you have the kind of face and the kind of voice where when you make your GoFundMe the people on the Internet go "Hey a nice kid like that shouldn't have to live like this" Well that's actually your money too

          It feels weird to say this but money itself doesn't matter nearly as much as poor people think, and the more you learn about rich people the more you see how this works The cheesy saying is literally true - "The money is just a way to keep score"

          *The things money represents* are extremely real but the money itself is a symptom and not a cause It is shockingly difficult to actually take away a rich person's money permanently And when a poor person wins the lottery or something, the money burns away shockingly fast

          And when you get that "class" is this thing that exists in people's minds, this invisible label of who's "supposed to be rich" and who's "supposed to be poor" that the money is only a visible reflection of, then you get why you can't separate "class" from other "identities"

          See when you say "Rich and poor ain't nothing but a state of mind" it sounds dismissive but it's really not The fact that it's just a "state of mind" - your mind and everyone else's minds - is why the game of capitalism is a sick joke

          It would not take us all hours and hours to fill out nine million pages of tax forms every year if it was actually that simple

          This is why I'm annoyed whenever someone uses "plebeian" to mean "lacking merit". In Rome it was literally just a matter of who your dad is, not how wealthy or skilled you are.
