@Griffith They say the middle class was a white phenomenon until very recently, when China started to develop one. But I wonder if the age of the "normie" in the sense of a reasonably intelligent person, yet without the inclination and the knack for understanding power structures, might be over. In some sense, perhaps a return to ruler and slave class was inevitable. idk.
I've turned it over in my head a couple of times. Think it's just for the best to aim for something better. A society with ONLY the middle class (but cooler, and politically aware) would be pretty good, I think.

@WandererUber Middle class is a European term for essentially merchants and the well-paid professionals. America had an extremely well-off working class that was so rich it came off like a European bourgouise. Besides the jews jewing, I think part of the change is that we've filled in the continent, and where America used to be the most globally competitive in all fields following the second world war, it now has competition in all sectors. We're still living off the fumes of post-war prosperity, but in the future there's going to be the world-class economy which will feel "middle class" and the rest of the economy, which is bleeding out and trying to hold itself up, will just keep slowly collapsing.

Personally, my plan B if I can't make it into the world-competitive class, and maybe even if I do, is to go to another country where my skills match a reasonable standard of living. Nugger was talking about China, and unironically, that's in consideration.
