This might be a stupid question, but is classism actually institutionalized like racism is? in the United States, I mean. (I interpret ‘economically disadvantaged and disenfranchised’, as the ‘lower class’ you are referring to, the money poor. Sorry if that’s not what you meant, feel free to embellish) @VelvetDuchess

Absolutely.
Class is still an almost forbidden subject.
It is so deeply institutionalized, that just the mention, gets attacked as "class war".
Actually the class war is over and the rich won.
whoa 🤯 lots of examples here! ty! How can we reverse their class war triumph, I wonder.

I started watching a Netflix docu. about wealth (Capital) a person in the know worries we're tumbling back to when aristocracy horded wealth and the rest were just poor. :/
@Armchaircouch @corlin Yes we’ve been trending that way since Reaganomics. Trickle down doesn’t work. The 1% own 70% of all the wealth.
@Armchaircouch @corlin Yes it is institutionalized. It’s stereotyped.
@corlin They get minimal healthcare without a pandemic. Don’t forget the economically disadvantaged and disenfranchised.
