That the lower class is used by the upper class to squash the middle class in a pincer is an interesting take. That the lower classes are unbearable, but also are the "productive" middle classes, or at least those members of them who don't have to fear being ostracised and cancelled for the sin of not having been successfully brainwashed - these are indisputable truths.
So what to do? It all comes down to the question how one can get money without having to deal with either the System, or with the uncouth or brainwashed majorities? This is only from the POV of individual survival, I am not even stepping into the territory of how to fight back. There is a long list of intellectuals committing suicide since the 19th century because having to face this reality and coming with no answer to my questions in the above. It's called industrial age elite overproduction.
Great point about artists being able to float between classes. My father's side was almost blueblood but he was a blacksheep artist and I grew up in a house trailer. But we were readers and I went to a private high school, and my last girlfriend noticed I had an aristocratic bearing.
Agree the (((PMC))) middle class strivers are boring.

Chuds did ruin the "alt-right," it became about weight lifting frat boy b.s.
