These and other findings, along with my own observations, inspired me to write about what I refer to as #luxurybeliefs
"In the past, upper-class Americans displayed their social status with luxury goods. Today, they do it with luxury beliefs."

My #luxurybeliefs essay in @Quillette cited here in this interesting piece about polyamory
“men desired an open sexual relationship almost four times more than their female counterparts.”

"material goods have become more affordable and, thus, less reliable indicators of social class. Status has shifted to the beliefs we express. And beliefs are less expensive than goods because anyone can adopt them..." quillette.com/2019/11/16/tho…

Privileged elites decry social infrastructure that helps everybody else be happy and prosper.
In the spirit of “open-mindedness” they keep everybody down!
New word to explain this phenomenon! #luxurybeliefs

#LuxuryBeliefs is an apt description of on-trend PC ideas. Virtue signalling misses the main point, rather it's status signalling.
The bad news is that these beliefs have damaging effects on those of lower social class.
A superb essay from @robkhenderson. quillette.com/2019/11/16/tho…

Can you be an independent thinker, or do you subscribe to #luxurybeliefs? #stoicism
Do you crave assimilation or virtue?

100% there is right or wrong way. Humans are omnivores and so can do both in varying amounts. We are fortunate to live in times where we can choose #luxurybeliefs

Conservatives/repubs contributed their part with outsourcing/globalization, Dems with globalizing the identity-create #LuxuryBeliefs. This is why they get called 'the uni-party interests' or 'establishment elites'.

"......the #luxurybeliefs of the #upperclass often trickle down and are adopted by people lower down the food chain, which means many of these beliefs end up causing social harm."

Thorstein Veblen’s Theory of the #LeisureClass—A Status Update: #LuxuryBeliefs have become fashionable status symbols. Luxury beliefs are ideas and opinions that confer status on the rich at very little cost, while taking a toll on the lower class. buff.ly/2KskEH4

“Luxury beliefs are ideas and opinions that confer status on the rich at very little cost, while taking a toll on the lower class.”
“The upper class benefits socially from decrying its own privilege while paying no actual price for it.”
