> just that it's easy to sniff out that you haven't experienced both sides of the coin so you reveal stubborn ignorance.
You're welcome to that narrative if you find it comforting. It's wildly incorrect however. Half of my family self-identify as semi-literate rednecks. The other half are members of the most prestigious country club in the state they reside in and the least successful of them was a V level executive at a multinational bank. I've cherry-picked the best of both worlds and have done just fine for myself without having to resort to any of the soulless pantomime you're advocating here, which does more to maintain property values in exclusive neighborhoods and feed a certain class of individual's sense of self-worth than anything objective. Water finds it's level I suppose.
