Working-Class Sociology Quotes

The working-class academics who adopt the middle-class-isms of academia are ruthless. I understand why they do it, it’s tough to survive in this middle-class sphere. But I cannot forgive those who adopt the dog-eat-dog mentality and don’t support their working-class peers.

If anyone is aware of upcoming postdoctoral research assistant opportunities related to the sociology of class, or is developing a research bid that might include a postdoc position, I’d be very keen to discuss my doctoral research and see if there are any opportunities!

@JennyAThatcher Because he’s a narcissist.

My sister asked me why Jeremy Corbyn just didn't join the Green Party? I don't really know why not.

The facts, put plainly, sound utterly monstrous - and a genuine low for British politics. It’s over.

Hannah is spot on here. It’s such a shame that there isn’t a working-class left-wing party in this country. The Greens are not it, but neither are any of the alternatives.

NEW BLOG POST: The Green’s have ignited discourse about class with the selection of Hannah Spencer. The tokenism is tiring 👇 …ingclasssociologyquotes.wordpress.com/2026/02/03/sto…

Clueless Reform. If only we had a working-class left-wing party, they’d wipe the floor with these Thatcherites.

BREAKING NEWS: @owenjonesjourno thinks that working-class people are incapable of being educated and entering academia.

😂😂😂 Christmas has come early. @owenjonesjourno would pile on to anyone (especially if it was a woman) for “misgendering” and he wouldn’t show an ounce of forgiveness. Identity-obsessed liberal “left”-politics is lunacy. Working-class collectivism is all that matters.

Typical middle class Liberal see 'lower classes' as functional either enriching their magnolia lives or to deliver them something or doing crap jobs keeping wages low when you scratch the surface theres always an elite twat looking down their noses at the working class

There's a lesson here. I'll leave this pinned up for a while - I'm about to block Steve and anyone supporting him because they have nothing to teach anyone. It's a classic statistical grift. Never believe amateur internet statisticians without further investigation. Steve didn't notice that I put 'wealth' in inverted commas because it's a notoriously unreliable concept. 'Net personal wealth', which he uses here, is openly declared assets minus openly declared liabilities. This is one of the narrowest, most simplistic and least reliable stats. It's virtually impossible to aggregate it because it ignores valuation challenges, incomplete reporting and self-reporting, money hidden in tax havens, future pension and investment wealth etc. Basically, it's just a snapshot of the current recorded wealth the rich want us to know about. The figure I quoted was an estimate, used by analysts such as Thomas Piketty, based on a broader and more realistic conception of wealth virtually exclusive to the very rich. It includes private pension/investment promises, estimates of wealth hidden abroad in tax havens and freeports, shell companies, undisclosed offshore trusts and foundations, discretionary bank and brokerage accounts, art, jewellery and antiquities, derivatives and swaps, digital assets (crypto etc.) and other stuff we don't know about yet. All these are major forms of personal 'wealth' and security across the life-courses of the rich 1%, and also boost the 'wealth' of those a bit below them, although not as much. The poor and most of the middle have none or comparatively little of this. We don't really know how much the really rich have - it could be a lot more. What a world, eh? Grifter's paradise. x.com/LoftusSteve/st…

This narrative is being peddled a lot by those defining themselves as 'working class', employed within traditional middle class professions. It's not new. It's a result of their exclusion for the middle class while being removed from the poverty affecting those they're discussing

No one 'pops out kids' to get a bigger fucking council house or more state benefits. I grew up having to listen to this stigmatising shit from: foster carers, teachers, politicians, neighbours and even well to family members. You're privileged and ignorant.

If you're on here talking about them like this, stigmatising them for being on benefits, then you're not their friend.

There should be no charge for prescriptions.

It’s always a Stella and an England flag. Never a bottle of champagne, a tweed jacket, moleskin trousers, leather brogues or a signet ring.

MPs should not be allowed to be landlords.

Reform must be stopped by the left. But, it must be stopped by left with the working-class at its core, devoted to the redistribution of wealth and equality, not identity-based politics.

@arielhelwani I think you underestimate how much punishment Parker was taking there because you underestimate Fabio’s power.

Absurd stoppage. Per the broadcast, Parker was up 6 rounds, 2 rounds and even. Was Wardley pouring it on? Yes. But both men were having moments. No knockdowns. A fighter of Parker’s caliber deserved WAY more time. x.com/BoxingzCentee/…
