Rule-Following vs. Rule-Defining as the Quintessential Middle/Upper Class Distinction

Aaron "Sleazy" Elias13 Comments

I recently wrote a few blog posts on the middle and upper class distinction recently (cf. income differentials, status trap, elite socialization). In this article, I want to tie together some of my observations. Thinking more about middle/upper-class issues, I came to the conclusion that the defining characteristic of the middle class is adherence to… Continue reading Rule-Following vs. Rule-Defining as the Quintessential Middle/Upper Class Distinction

Elite Socialization in Private Schools and Universities

Aaron "Sleazy" Elias1 Comment

In my article The Status Trap: The Middle-Class Pretending to be Upper Class I explore the problem of the middle class wanting to prepare their children for ascension into the upper class, and mostly only ending up wasting their money.

With Covid-19 causing our political leadership to panic and locking us down, picking up women is now a bigger challenge than ever before. You can’t do day game, you can’t do club game, and you can also forget about social circle game.

The Fake Pride of the Blue-Pilled Beta Male

Aaron "Sleazy" Elias21 Comments

A lot of men are very insecure about themselves, which manifests itself in constant status jockeying. Boys, and men, are pretty good at inventing arbitrary status hierarchies. Among high school kids, status is often conferred by how expensive your clothes are, which is a ludicrous metric as it is primarily dependent on how much money… Continue reading The Fake Pride of the Blue-Pilled Beta Male
