I know, right? Look at [Other Group] with their [Thing They Like]. Can't they see how it goes against [Thing Our Group Wants To Signal]?

If only they had cultivated [Subjective Taste We've Cultivated] they would be ashamed.

It's almost like they watch Television. Or Sports on Television. Or eat Fast Food and enjoy it. Or prefer sandwich bread to crusty artisanal bread.

Or drive Big Flashy Cars. Or drive pedestrian affordable cars. Or support Obama. Or support Trump. Or drink instant coffee or take public transportation.

There's no end to the list of things that the Other People do that Our People can look down on and laugh. If only they knew better.



Upvoted from my sensibly balanced Craftsman home while eating crusty artisanal bread and drinking pour-over Blue Bottle coffee before I head to work in my 2012 Volvo XC90 while listening to NPR.


I hate to be the one to tell you this but Blue Bottle is the McDonalds of third wave coffee.
