The pattern is funny but unmistakable:
more the person admonishes that he is an egalitarian the more you will see all kinds of snobby, hierarchical tendencies.
Sometimes if you work at a good company making good money:
somebody gets up at a gathering during a speech and sactimoniosly says:
“you know....it’s NOT about the money..!”
you know at that very instant that for that person it’s ALL about the money, always.
The few people who really, really mean that won’t make a big deal about it or they’ll never make that claim.
So true. The snobbiest people pretend to worship the working class but disdain them. The people who tell everyone how smart they are, aren’t.
