very few egalitarian milieus seem to have any taboo on displaying that you consider someone else *higher* status than you, though, leading to the hilarious phenomenon of vast personality cults around people who make a continuous excruciating performance of aw-shucks folksiness

It doesn't have as much to do with parallel norms, as it does wealth stratification. The workers are meant to idolize and want to become part of the owner class, while simultaneously the owner class acts like they're "one of us" to our faces. Keeps us from getting uppity.

While not-so-secretly they dodge taxes, buy superyachts,and treat their workers like garbage in order to look better to their owner-class peers,who judge each other in terms of net wealth.This value trickles down to the rest of society.Thus liberal egalitarianism is pure ideology
