[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a little confused by the level of hostility some people are displaying here towards people with less money (ie, the OP). OP didn't say anything insulting about people with money, but some posters seem defensive an are implying there's some sort of moral superiority in having wealth. I think OP was just observing that there are different vectors of privilege, and they felt that they were rich in one but not the other. It's definitely possible to be cultured with or without money, and the same for being uncultured. [/quote] It’s because people in DCUM need to constantly convince themselves that they are wealthy because they are smart and only bc they are smart (and deserving). When you question this belief and remind them that there are lots of very smart people (academics, teachers, scientists, etc) who don’t make 400k and live in McMansions—-they get a little defensive and go on attack mode by insulting people—-like the OP.[/quote]
