Rationalizing downward mobility. Venerating the taco truck. The college grad white urbanoids of the 1990s, the Frasier Cranes and Rachel Greens of the world, would have joked about it looking like vomit then headed to their favorite French bistro, the one with the chef from Lyon.

Bourdain was 100% the poster child for this, the patron saint of downwardly mobile kids of privilege embracing low culture as a cope for their own personal failures. Simultaneously he was an idol for hicklibs, too class illiterate to grasp what was going on. Thoroughly rancid.

This is an extremely millennial phenomenon and it flows directly from 2008 and the lingering economic bifurcation of college educated white millennials that has followed in its wake. The neurotic hatred of wealth and property and material well-being flows from this tension.

If there was some teeming mass of qualified black people who were getting passed over because of racism or whatever then you'd see black-founded companies in the fortune 500 and HBCUs in the US News Top 25. You just don't see that though, and in fact you see the opposite.

@SalMinellaUtube @WillHild You’re assuming white men were qualified in the first place. Most of the time, they get the job because they’re white, not because they’re qualified. Hence the need for DEI

“Racism” didn’t really exist in ancient Rome. Emperors were white, black, Arab, didn’t matter. The color of your skin was like the color of your eyes. *Citizenship* is the distinction they drew. It wasn’t just about what you got in return, it was about your duty to your nation.

@remnantposting All of the cool innovations of the past 10 years had their roots in 2007-2012 music and most of them occurred in cultural ghettoes where they were never able to break into the mainstream and become the Next Big Thing as would have happened any time between 1960 and 2010.

But it goes even deeper than that, and into the hatred of the mere idea of success itself, the idea of success even being a good thing in the first place, and especially of the expectations of success (that they are unable to meet) being a good thing for ANYONE to strive for.

@mapeslover69 There are so many cases of this, guys living in Jim Halpert-tier white collar penury without even having Scranton's dirt cheap cost of living to make life easier. They all have loads of college debt, too. There's a reason why they rally around the food, it's all they have.

In closing, my hunch is that this doesn't change until the millennial upper middle class has their Reagan moment and starts to assert themselves, but the failsons are so loud and the UMCs are so conflict-averse that I have zero confidence that it's ever going to happen.

It's 100% this. "Pathological K-selection mentality" describes it perfectly. That, along with the economic uncertainty amid rising costs of living that are being felt by even the upper middle class is an extremely potent combination to kill top quintile fertility rates.

My armchair (quasi)contrarian take on the fertility collapse among affluent people is that they actually care *too much* about kids. They desire children but have entered into pathological K-selection mentality with regards to raising and providing for any individual child
