    Arthur Chu Retweeted RopesToInfinity

    One weird British thing is how they have this steely determination to define "class" by anything at all other than how much money you actually have It's a sickness of all discourse everywhere but the UK has it really really badhttps://twitter.com/RopesToInfinity/status/1382662450084995073 …

        To be fair, indebted nobles marrying wealthy commoners is a trope for a reason. They have class systems that predate capitalist ones, they're just mostly vestigial, which as far as I can tell is the worst of both worlds

        Yeah, class - for literally that word - being primarily defined by background, connections, social distinction etc goes back over 2,000 years more than the idea of it being primarily defined by income or wealth And frankly we have a lot more other words for the latter anyway

        Snobbery is the only valuable commodity the Brits have left.

        The complete disconnect between everyone that doesn't live in London (or Manchester to some degree) and the rest of the country drives it harder. Small town syndrome seems to exist in everybody's brain.

        I just read Mark Fisher's famous "Exiting the Vampire Castle" essay this week and he did this exact thing. "Others told us that [Russell] Brand couldn’t really be working class, because he was a millionaire."

        Both are an issue but they're different. In the UK one's ancestry makes a vast difference to one's opportunities in life. There are lots of things that money can't buy and those who try to buy their way in have to pay stupid amounts without ever really gaining respect at the top.

        Isn't that the distinction (that I just saw articulated yesterday) between class and status? People tend to use them interchangeably, but they really aren't. Although, I don't know about this specific case.

        Replying to @arthur_affect

        The British "class system" really is better understood as more of a caste system rather than a system of economic class as Marx would analyse it (i.e., relationship to production). It strongly interacts with economic factors but is not at all the same thing.

        The British do insist that a millionaire owner of a plumbing company with a rough accent is "working class" And an indebted RP-speaking Oxbridge grad earning £20k doing PR work for an NGO is "middle class" But that's true, socially, it's a salient feature of British society.
