The "Respectability Trap" and the Social-Climbing Bourgeois Fake Conservatives

The left has lost Trump. He was their go-to figure for ginned-up Leftwing Twitter Moral Panics.

Leftwing Twitter Moral Panics which every member of the pseudoright has eagerly joined in for fucking five years now.

Whether it's lockdowns, or Majorie Taylor-Greene, or QAnon, or masking, or double-masking, or even triple-masking, the left has put out a series of Trump Outrage Replacements, and members of the billionaire-funded "conservative" media have jumped on all of them.

Schlub cvck writer at the Billionaire's Newsletter Washington Examiner says that anyone opposing lockdowns is "Totally disgusting."

They believe every single foundational principle their urban progressive allies tell them to believe.

The anti-vaxx and anti-lockdown folks have one argument in common: that their choices should not be dictated by others in the name of public health. Yet these same people are taking action to deprive others of making their own choices. Totally despicable. https://t.co/j82HVUXZZG

Do not bother asking him for the science that points up the effectiveness of mass lockdowns; the "science" is just a class marker. It is an article of faith among upper middle class social-climber bougie set that anything their class tastemakers tell them is true, must be true.

This is "science" as far as they're concerned.

Actual science showing that lockdown states have more deaths than non-lockdown states? That's not science, that's just a "totally disgusting" conspiracy theory.

This easily explains why the class-insecure, financially-challenged members of the cvck media class are so eager to repeat This Week's Leftwing Twitter Panic about Majorie Taylor-Greene.

Taylor-Greene has made some statements that the cvck class associates with the lower class or working class -- just as they associate supporting Trump with the white working class -- and so the cvcks all must ~~Virtue Signal~~ Social Class Signal on Twitter that they are not members of the lower or working class and do not truck with such "Dirties."

They have also all jumped on the left's political op that QAnon -- which is already dying, because its central claims about "Trusting the plan" were proven spectacularly untrue -- is the most dangerous force in America, and have all competed with each other to brag about how many drone-strikes they'd authorize to kill their fellow countrymen for the crime of disagreeing with them.

Ben Domenech noted in a recent Transom that most Republicans don't even know what the fuck QAnon is. But the Democrats, desperate for a new bugaboo to gin up a panic about, know much more about QAnon than Republicans.

And so, of course, the billionaires' playthings "conservative" media herd must all proclaim that QAnon is the equivalent of ISIS.

The same neoliberal Billionaire's Newsletter that proclaimed that skepticism about lockdowns was "totally disgusting" also proclaims that America must use military force against its own "insurgents," aka "Trump supporters:"

OPINION:

We defeated al Qaeda and can do the same to the fascist thugs who attacked our democracy last month.

But only if we take similar hard measures against the enemy within.

Never once do these bougie "cons" notice that the class whose class markers they are so eagerly collecting like Cub Scout merit badges are entirely created by progressives.

I'm going to say this more straightforwardly than I've ever said it. I've hinted around it, I've never said it straight up.

But here goes:

People loyal to the mores of the upper middle class are left-liberal. Period.

They should have no place in the leadership and "thought" leadership of any "conservative" movement. They are not conservative.

They are all pro-gay marriage.

They are all pro-abortion.

They are all in favor of shipping out every single working-class job to China, and, for those few remaining jobs which must be performed in America, shipping in workers from the third world to displace Americans.

They are all supporters of a soft version of the SJW progressive stack. They all believe in "White Privilege," for an obvious reason -- as the rich children of the prosperous upper-middle class, they're actually the ones born to privilege, but they wish to obscure that fact. So they buy into the left's claims about the "White Privilege" of 63% of the country, instead of focusing on the wealth privilege of 10%.

Jake Tapper will entertain he shares a kind of privilege with two thirds of the country but he will never acknowledge his real privilege, one shared by only 10% of the country.

And the social-climbing "conservative' media class is almost entirely born from the same prosperous class. They too do not want to talk about real privilege.

I always want to ask these guys, so desperate to peonize the working class: How far back in time do you have to go to find an ancestor who had a job which caused callouses to form on his hands?

Was it two generations ago? Three? It's obvious the "conservative" media class has never had to work a shovel in their lives. The toughest job they've ever held was working in their dad's law office, or valet parking Beemers at the country club.

And yes, they support the leftwing SJW claims about race. Bullshit like "minorities can't be racist," or at least not racist in a way that should be held against them.

That's why they all rushed to defend notorious, swaggering racist Sarah Jeong, and refuse to even acknowledge the eyebrow-singing anti-white racism seen every single day in the media.

To acknowledge there's such a thing as "anti-white racism," and that it ought to be condemned, is, they've decided, an "alt-right" idea, and the alt-right is a lower class phenomenon, and, as I've noted, they really, really really need you to know they are not lower class.

The only way in which they are arguably "conservative" is that... they are in favor of oligarchical fascism directed by the billionaires signing their paychecks.

Which is of course not "conservative" at all. But that's the one category in which they can make an arguable case for their "conservatism" -- in always championing the Ruling Class' right to rule over the downscale Dirties.

Is that the "conservatism" we want? A gonzo left-liberalism which is also thoroughly anti-republican, anti-egalitarian?

Now, does everyone in the bougie-con class need to be purged? No, not everyone. Some people do see that the dominant worldview of their class is hopelessly soft left-liberal. Some wealthy people are irascible enough, independent enough, iconoclastic enough, to reject the badges of respectability offered to them by their left-leaning social class.

And some people are assured and confident enough in their place in a class that they don't feel the need to signal their membership in that class by showing off their Class Markers.

Once you're rich enough to firmly belong to a class -- if not the next-higher class -- you don't feel the need to convince people that you belong to that class.

But more marginal members of that class -- aspirants to that class, people who want to belong to that class but just don't, the status insecure, those who would like to belong to an aristocracy but do not have the money or markers of prestige usually necessary to join it -- are the most eager and desperate to flash their Class Marker credit cards.

Belief-based class markers are the very cheapest and easiest class markers in the world.

Such people have proven themselves absolutely incapable of seeing that the class markers that give them self-perceived status are entirely products of a left-liberal social order consensus. They push and push for the leftwing worldview as "respectable." They never seem to grasp that the "respectability" they seek is simply the left's merit badge of political acceptability.

They're sheep. They're herdbeasts, going where their leftwing twitter shepherds tell them to go.

They are followers. They follow each and every Daily Twitter Controversy their upper-middle-class leftwing Twitter buds tell them to. They deplatform every non-respectable member of the Lower Orders (or those who think like members of the Lower Orders) that their leftwing tastemaker friends tell them to.

Anything their tastemaking leftwing friends tell them to be outraged by, outrages them. Anything their class-boundary-patrolling left-liberal twitter allies tell them to denounce, they obediently denounce.

They cannot be trusted, because while their bougie openly-left fellow travelers will permit them to take the conservative line on some things, like taxes -- rich liberals don't really want their taxes raised; what they really want is to be seen arguing for higher taxes, while their bougie pseudocon allies keep their taxes low -- any time that actual conservatives challenge something foundational in the leftwing cultural offensive, they demand their bougiecons to ally with them to stamp out the heresy, the ideological threat, and they ALWAYS comply.

Bougie "cons" are with you for the easy stuff but always defect to the left on the hard stuff. In fact, this is so persuasive it would be more accurate to say they are with the left on all things, except the small handful of things rich progressives want them to oppose.

As such, they simply have no place in any position of leadership or influence in a conservative movement.

18 Maybe the Horde can help explain this, because I'm at a loss: I work for a very large corporation; VP of Operations spoke at (virtual) all-hands today to explain the company's WuFlu stance. He said (I paraphrase): Please get the vaccine. It's highly encouraged and it's needed to end the pandemic and achieve "herd immunity" (I couldn't believe he used this term... I thought it was verboten). Then he said that people who've had the vaccine still have to mask because "the vaccine protects you, but it doesn't protect you from spreading the virus to others." This makes ZERO SENSE to me. If the vaccine protects me, how could I possibly still spread the virus to others??? I think this is total BS... but if any of you knowledgeable folks out there can provide a rational explanation, please do so! Otherwise, I'll assume it's more gaslighting....

101 Ace: I agree with much of what you have here, especially with regards to the upper-middle-class.

One of the problems facing conservatives, moving forward, is what personnel can it rely on to fill jobs / professions usually stacked with the "upper-middle class"? Lawyers, academics, scientists, doctors, media, etc.

Conservatives have relied -- to their great detriment -- on "Conservative Inc." to fill these roles. But, as you point out, "Conservative Inc." are essentially enemies to actual conservatives.

Its difficult to suss out actual, sympathetic upper-middle class people to fill these roles (and that task is going to be even harder, as professionals face being ostracized from their communities for being MAGA).

The Trump admin suffered from this too -- Trump didn't have a deep well of professional personnel to rely on to carry out the directives of his administration. Too often, those hired were a bunch of disloyal pit vipers.

139 If the vaccine protects me, how could I possibly still spread the virus to others???

Uh cough cough...that is NOT how a vaccine works. It protects YOU against the virus, you still have the virus and can pass it to others, however it prevents the virus from overtly effecting you

Merck decided to stop making a vaccine because natural immunity is more effective than any of the putative vaxs. They are going to make therapeutics instead.

140 NGU, you sure? Polio vaccine and small pox vaccine didn't prevent infection, they just prevented transmission?

Oh, and to the commenter with the idiotic company guidance - almost no masks provide source control (i.e. "protect" others), only certain ones do that. In fact pretty good chance that for a strongly symptomatic infected person (who obviously should not be at work or out in public anyway, duh, that's the point), face coverings probably will *worsen* the situation by nebulizing what they exhale, prolonging sedimentation and thus (theoretically) *increasing* likelihood their expelled virions will be inhaled by others.

Not sure this has been tested - but then again, why would we test logical ideas that would FURTHER undercut the already indefensibly flawed rationale for masks? But those who work on the engineering and medical aspects of masks have warned of this for some time now.

141 So, Immunizations do not teach your body how to build the antibodies to kill the virus? This one somehow re-engineers YOU so the virus can't latch onto cells?

/looks really confused.

Posted by: Romeo13 at February 03, 2021 03:50 PM (oHd/0)

From what I understand (which isn't much, tbh), the mRNA vaccine tricks your body to make copies of itself (like a virus). The vaccine consists of the part on the covid virus that interacts with your cells. So your immune system learns to destroy things that look a awful lot like the outside of the covid virus.

148 >>Do not bother asking him for the science that points up the effectiveness of mass lockdowns; the "science" is just a class marker.<<

Lockdowns began because there was nothing else the politicians (and professional quacks like Fauci) could do to show the voters they were doing something to save the voters' lives.

Lockdowns continue because there is nothing else the politicians can do to show the voters they are doing something to save the voters' lives.

Left-wing politicians will never publicly say The Government is Powerless to Fix Something. And the Karens will go even more nuts and eventually abandon Cuomo, Whitmer, Newsom, et. al., if they are told there is nothing anyone can do to protect their lives and the lives of their children.

So we continue with Lockdown Theater. Hopefully the vaccinations and herd immunity will end the lockdown scam. But it will be hard to get the Karens and the power-hungry pols to let go of the lockdown tool.

During the Twilight era, middle aged, married women were going nuts over their crushes for Edward or the other one. Jacob? Both of whom were at least supposed to look like teenagers. Entertainment media thought it was great.

I've always wondered what the entertainment media would consider of middle aged, married men having huge public demonstrations around a movie theater as they obsessed over a pair of young teenage girls.

People don't much use Marx's model, except for heavily bastardized versions because he tried to tie his model into an economic and historical theory.

The above is from Investopedia. I'd consider single-wage earners in the top 10% "upper-middle class" (certainly they're trying to be). People in the top 1-2% have more clout, but those in the top 10% are trying to ape their habits.

253 Then he said that people who've had the vaccine still have to mask because "the vaccine protects you, but it doesn't protect you from spreading the virus to others." This makes ZERO SENSE to me. If the vaccine protects me, how could I possibly still spread the virus to others??? I think this is total BS... but if any of you knowledgeable folks out there can provide a rational explanation, please do so! Otherwise, I'll assume it's more gaslighting....

The vaccine does protect you and by the same token it also prevents you from spreading COVID19. I got my second shot Monday. The powers that be simply recognize that not everybody is comfortable with getting the vaccination and there's also no way to identify those that have who in reality should no longer be badgered about idiotic masks and social distancing.

Given this reality and the continuing obsession with idiotic masks as some sort of realistic preventive measure they're going to keep pushing the notion that even those with immunity (previous infection, vaccination) still need masks and to social distance.

It's a recognition of the herd mentality and scientific illiteracy as it pertains to pathogenic spread.

No.

The RNA tells the cell to make proteins that are found in the coat of the virus, not "copies of itself".

This protein coat (like a shell) is what your immune cells use to recognize and destroy viruses before they infect your regular cells.

There is no self-replicating virus material in the vaccine. None.

Group Wages

Top 1% of Earners $737,697

Top 5% of Earners $309,348

Top 10% of Earners $158,002
I know we're not supposed to do math, but just looking at that, it doesn't make sense. If the top 10 percent make 158K but half of them (top 5 percent) make 309K, then percentiles 6 through 10 would effectively be making zero. This must mean either 1 of 2 things: Either (1) the person who makes 309K makes more than 95 percent of people and less than 5 percent of people, or (2) all the people who make less than 1 percent of people but more than 95 percent of people make, on average, 309K.

299 NGU I've been saying it's Germany 1934, at least with respect to certain key things.

Gleichschaltung ("coordination" of, i.e. enforced conformity of, ideological views - at least those publicly expressed or promoted - in *all* institutions and walks of life).

A nearly monochromatic "press" that is mostly indistinguishable from a state propaganda operation.

The weird limpness, or collapse, of standards, sectors, and actors - the GOP at all levels, the judiciary, etc. in the face of increasingly outlandish and malevolent nonsense ("cancel" culture being extended to the POTUS!, of course the meek submission to the evaporation of the constitution for both the virus and the election fraud).

But back on 9/11, I think most, not all, but most of the people on CNBC were well to the right of what we see today. And for sure the traders and others that worked on the street were well to the right and also more pro American than anything we see today by a long shot.

So imagine me, some 30 years ago, moved to a suburb in California and needed my (tiny) lawn mowed (and me eight months pregnant or so, wanting not to bother with it myself). I ask the neighbor if his daughter would want to mow our lawn.

"She doesn't know how to use a lawn mower."

Well, okay then, I'll hire her to baby sit and get paid about the same for five hours as I'd have paid for 20 minutes of lawn mowing.

And you KNOW that she was raised and grew up a "feminist". You know it.

No... vaccines (at least traditional vaccines, like those for influenza) work by giving your body a head start in creating antibodies... so that you immune system more efficiently attacks and kills any virus with which you come into contact. Therefore, if the vaccine protects me, then my body's immune system very quickly attacks and kills any incipient virus... voila, I don't get sick. That being the case, I NEVER have significant viral load in my body. So... again: How do I spread this (non-existent) viral load??

This is true, but it is still a rigged system and I think they start to think that is OK. Productive class people want to compete fairly and think the game is rigged against them.

370 299 NGU I've been saying it's Germany 1934, at least with respect to certain key things.

Gleichschaltung ("coordination" of, i.e. enforced conformity of, ideological views - at least those publicly expressed or promoted - in *all* institutions and walks of life).
A nearly monochromatic "press" that is mostly indistinguishable from a state propaganda operation.

The weird limpness, or collapse, of standards, sectors, and actors - the GOP at all levels, the judiciary, etc. in the face of increasingly outlandish and malevolent nonsense ("cancel" culture being extended to the POTUS!, of course the meek submission to the evaporation of the constitution for both the virus and the election fraud).
Don't think we'll get a Night of the Long Knives, but as analogies to Nazi Germany go (almost always pretty dubious), this one is at least respectable.

It means the first part of (1) mostly: more $ than 95% of the population. While there are other people in the 5% who make more than 309K there may be many who do make the same exact 309K so the "less than 5%" isn't exactly correct but that's splitting hairs because at less than 5%, 4.9999999% (sorry pixy) there would only be those who are making more.

I'm not sure when the news feed was added to Brave, but I've only become aware of it within the past few days. Unlike every other modern browser I've used which slaps me in the face with leftist garbage immediately upon opening a new tab, I must scroll up on blank page to open the news feed in Brave. By default, it is mostly set for "mainstream" sites (i.e., leftist garbage), but it's easy enough to weed those feeds out. This is nowhere near enough to convince me to dump the browser, but YMMV.

Also, according to the blurb about it on the official website, "an upcoming release will include manual RSS feed subscriptions, which will give users more control over what they see in their feeds." Hey, maybe we'll see a working RSS feed in Minx 0.7.1...

Heh.
Few years back on some other blog, a screeching lefty bint was tossing all kinds of shade at me.
I responded every time, somewhere in my response, with "See You Next Tuesday".
She didn't catch on for maybe a half-dozen salvos back and forth.
Oh, but when she did finally figure it out. It was a thing of beauty, watching her mind splatter on the screen like it did. And the others in the thread were laughing hard.
One of my finer keyboard moves, I do say.

They required a minimum buzz of two shots before the first call. They were given no-chance calls to trouble clients to flame out on the first few days and then worked up the list. Not sure how they would segue out to the exchange floor afterwards but that was there start.

459 "If the vaccine protects me, how could I possibly still spread the virus to others???"

You can't. Unless, I suppose, you wipe spittle/phlegm from some infected individual from one contaminated surface to another.

If you produce antibodies, which is to say you were exposed to enough antigen (viral proteins) for your white cells to encounter, phagocytose, and present to your lymph nodes for further, novel, specific B-Cell and T-Cell development which in turn sent your immune response into defensive hyperdrive, then you won't be an active carrier of new virus. The instant the virus enters your body again, your immune system attacks, binds, engulfs, and neutralizes the virus because your immune system developed, essentially, permanent memory for that specific viral structure.

You're simply not going to be a carrier/transmitter anymore if, IF, the inoculation is actually effective and successfully blocks/bonds to the vulnerable binding sites of the virus by inducing a good immunoresponse.

You would do best to call around to local gun stores. A lot of vendors simply are not putting out their stuff where web crawlers can get to it because it disrupts regular customers being able to buy.

Actual elites don't usually think of themselves as such, and demand to be treated as such. I've worked in the same building as a Nobel Prize winner, and he was a nice fellow when he passed you in the hall and didn't demand genuflection.

in Rome, Julius Caesar had better bloodlines than anyone - his family had been around longer, and claimed descendance from Aeneas and the goddess Venus.

He grew up in a lower class neighborhood in Rome (the Subura) in a building his mom was the landlord of (a wedding present to her) and he was always very comfortable with normal working people, troops and soldiers, and people who were non-citizens in the provinces. He tried to live up and surpass his lineage, but didn't run down those around him that didn't have those same benefits.
