not entirely true, positive buorgaisse A E S T happens now and there - jeans and modern suit (originall a military item) all came from middle class and were adopted by higher class.
Im pro-middle class, but against middle class douchebaggery like McMansions

Lets identify the problem first. Who the culprit? Amerifats.

nope, you just don't see the full picture.
first the upperclass i.e Moviestarts ect made jeans "cool" and then the middle class jumped on it too
just like now you see 1% with hobo style shit and only after that the rest jumps on it too
can't argue for the suit because I don't know enough about it
but jeans style was made popular by moviesars like James dean and bob dylan

>first the upperclass i.e Moviestarts ect made jeans "cool" and then the middle class jumped on it too
and they first saw the coolness of it on cowboys (who were always cool - no homo), same is with Beau Brumell and suits - king and upper class literally copied a random dandy soldier

>coolness of it on cowboys
there was no "coolness" about cowboys before the marlboro man and John wayne westerns
it was functional but the romantization came later once again trough hollywood
and we can look at many different examples but in the end it boils down to
the 1% doesn't need to follow "trends" because they don't have the insecurity and inadequacy mindset the middle and working class has
so they just do something out of shits and giggles or out of comfort and the lesser humans see it and think they can get some of the divine 1% charm by emulating them on lets say wearing the same funny hat he wore imagining just by having the same hat he the "loser" will somehow be kissed by the divine hand too
of course they always just emulate pathetic stuff even a monkey could do yet fail to see that they might need to emulate his habits and behavior to achieve what he has achieved
but that ofcourse is too hard and poeple dont like hard
it's easier to spend few hundred thousand dollars in a mcmansion then to actually acquire enough money to create a real family mansion with the finest materials there are on earth
Remind people that they can live in smaller houses. It's already starting with the tiny house meme although that's an extreme. Once the boomers die off thier McMansions will go with them.
>>128996701
Yeah, those are abominations, I see your point.
>t. Floridafag who sees these regularly on the coast

it's my life goal to one day become one of those old rich hermit guys in florida who has no friends and occasionally hits up the early bird specials at restaurants

you cant make smth that doesnt have at least a bit of inherited coolness to mainstream cool level. Cowboys always represented some rugged quasi-faustian individualist ideal, which was pretty cool itself, but not famous cool. Same is with army fashion that is present today in some level and was with Brumell in the 19th century.
anyway, this is Trumps penthouse. pretty abhorent.
>>128996701
You don't. If people want to throw their money at shit, let them since its just supports a blue collar worker/owner.

"Geek" had no cool level for many years but now it seems to be the mainstream cool with many popular glasses frames being the classic "geeky" look. what happened there?

>"geeky" look
you are reffering to hipster look of early 2010s? it was about irony i.e. looking like a retard was considered cool by those ethnomasochist. it was irony-cool not cool-cool.
niqqas were cool-cool that is why hip hop became so popular.
I do siding and gutter work and all these houses are shitty when you look up close. If their sided then it was some hack on the crew, your lucky if the gutters have the downspout on the downhill section, and after a few years the wood around the windows gets eaten up.

How about you let people use their own money to build homes they want? If they want to live in a pyramid or a giant rubber duck it's not your buissnes.
>>128996701
When I look at the areas near the beaches In california there is some nice houses there.
Pic just semi related because these are no mansions but it's looks comfy even though it's near San francisco

I hope all those at the cliff edge enjoy losing their house in 20 years
>>128996701
Rich people are almost always vulgar, because they are mostly greedy stupid pigs. It's not hard to make money if you are a lying, psychopathic piece of shit. Human garbage.

i mean today's brands like Geek, that are trendy and "cool" today. pic related

Lessee... Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, Wild Bill, Doc Holliday, Billy the Kid, Butch and Sundance.... and lots more... all had pulp books being sold to the fanboys, while they were still alive. The cowboy has been "cool" since day one.
In B4 they were gunfighters, not cowboys...
Cowboy life was romanticized in these books.

Higher marginal property taxes.
