What are your thoughts on social class and class structure? In my mind these are two very different things. I've read online that it has to do with upper, middle, and lower class, but I think that's a very unhelpful explanation. I sort of see social class as the group you're economically loyal to. For example, cops are loyal to cops, gangs are loyal to gang members are loyal to members of their own gang, and the politicians are loyal to each other. This is important, I think, because your loyalties will always be to your social class, because deep down the social class is what takes care of you, and you're what takes care of it. And I think the race thing is a media simplification to fan the flames of dissent. I define class structure as a different thing. Class structure is the entire economic system that you're a part of. For example, they have the war economy, so you might be involved in defense as a contractor or as a mathematician, or even as a soldier. I think class structure is just what you're born into, and you don't have to be loyal to it. But to keep this in mind, that people have different incentives, and it's not based on the individual, I think. I think it's based on group alliance, group affiliation. And those are my thoughts. I want to hear you guys' thoughts. Please leave them below.

So if you want to elevate to the next class, then you're going to have to change the money narratives in your head. You're going to have to change your ideas about money, and where it comes from, what it's for, what you do with it, how to get it, all that.

OMG I love that. Your social class is the group that you are loyal to. Except it sounds like you're talking more about in-group out-group dynamics in social class.

Also, I agree with you that upper, middle, and lower class are completely useless designations.
