    Ah.. But something I've run into continuously with my own parents' aspirational politics: if they constrain "class" to not really exist, then it doesn't and they can conveniently ignore any discussion using that language.

    Any discussion of socialism immediately stops when you mention classes. They insist classes don't exist in the US, therefore this entire discussion is factually incorrect, and a waste of time.

    It won't matter if you point out their embrace of the Epstein class as "peers" politically. (Aspirational politics) They just won't see it.

    It won't matter if you point out our family interactions with the American justice system as white privilege; that we had to interact at all proves to them that there's no privilege.

    #Blinders or #LeadPoisoning ? IDK.
