[quote=Anonymous]The top indicator is that people who need to dump on internet strangers are definitely low-class. But seriously, OP, I'm interested in what context you're thinking about class. It's different in the modern US than most of the world, and definitely different than any time in history. The US is incredibly porous in terms of class. A combination of money and certain behaviors and appearance traits (and the avoidance of others) can catapault a person and their family from the lowest class (impoverished, uneducated, lacking social cues) into the very highest. For example, a person who says they've "literally never thought about it" is someone who is unaware of the research around and ramifications of social dynamics in America, and therefore likely not very well read, or very limited in intellectual scope. There are hundreds of books on the subject, thousands of think-pieces, and some very real-world effects. [/quote]
