I don't think I've missed your point
Well you did because you asked if I meant current LibDem voters previously critical of the coalition. Which I didn't (or at least not in isolation).
It can't be that obvious because you completely misunderstood it
just badly made and as I said full of stereotypes
Cheers. They're not stereotypes if they're true though. I've personally witnessed many unhinged middle class people with stalls and blue and yellow balloons and every news broadcast outside parliament is punctured with lone weirdos shouting.
Your thread title doesn't suggest everyone has a right to be worried
It doesn't suggest zebras are mammals either. The title is middle class anxiety. The topic is contemporary middle class political anxiety and why it is apparent now over this political event but absent from other, significantly materially detrimental, recent political events. That would have been a long title though.
Your reference to centre ground types who dress up in yellow and blue did make me wonder if you meant LibDems and other centrists, that's all
That'd the colours of the EU flag tho
What makes you think a lot of middle class people weren't outraged about austerity (and poverty, and the use of foodbanks, and the decimation of public services, etc.)?
I'm sure lots were. But if you read my posts again, I talk about the tone of press coverage and the level of political outrage. If you think the middle class response to austerity was even a fraction of its response to BREXIT then you're fucking mad
(And also the Iraq war, CJB etc. which others mentioned). The vast majority of people here on urban strike me as middle class and are as a whole very anti-austerity.
It's a good thing I was talking about society generally rather than one tiny weird internet backwater then
Who are the 'middle class' anyway?
The middle class doesn't exist, ok cheers
Are they one huge remain-voting lump?
No, people voted lots of different ways for lots of different reasons, although there is a wealth of data out there about which NRS categories etc voted what. It's interesting stuff, you should google it.
Is anyone becoming unhinged, really?
Categorically yes, really
Are no working class people becoming unhinged?
Probably, I don't know them all to ask. It's more about social phenomena than the individual. For clarity, like.
Did other working class people care more about the position of those suffering from austerity? Etc. Etc.
Yes.
