wondering about whether the popular perception of upward mobility being an impossible cruel joke may stem from the rise in individualism. historically its taken whole generations to move up & the family did it together; mb expecting this of individuals contributes to resentment?
for the record it's totally possible for individuals but only in v high leverage fields, which most are not able to get into. this is really our fault for giving the proles too high aspirations. gotta knock them back down a few pegs.
