    A liberal would already know why they can’t-

    Oh! This is for “American libs”. Totally opposite things.

        On that note, Bourgeois means “middle class” in a literal translation to English, but it refers to “middle class” in an English sense rather than an American one. Doctors/Lawyers/Business Managers instead of a catch-all that anyone can self-identify as.

        I just think that’s neat.

          Bourgeoisie mean city-dwellers. They were the rich ones surviving off the peasantry. The parasites.

          Kinda like now except now the peasantry is in the third world. Americans are still bourgeois.
