If still had your dream era then I'd likely be either owned by someone or stuck in some menial dead-end job under some Jim Crow nightmare.

Racial slavery is a product of mercantile capitalism - hardly my 'dream era.' But happily the free market has found more efficient and more sophisticated ways to exploit you. The menial dead-end jobs still exist, of course - but these days you can't even tell yourself that it's all just down to your race.


Thank GOD for upwards social mobility.....it's allowed me to make something of myself.

In the era of the self-made man, who has any need for a God to create them, or a society or faith to nurture them and give them meaning? You've made something of yourself, and it hardly matters what that 'something' is or whether it has any social value beyond the dollar figure the market puts on it. Who needs God when you're getting a thumbs-up from the invisible hand?

Of course, you don't mention the corrolary of "upward " social mobility - that what rises can also fall, and that there is a precariousness to the prosperity you enjoy. This is why you have to insist so loudly that you deserve it and that it therefore will not be taken away from you.

Our medieval ancestors also had a profound sense of the mutability of fortune, which they characterised as an ever-turning wheel. But we children of neoliberalism can neither acknowledge the arbitrariness of fate nor rest secure in our status. We are condemned to perpetual mistrust, envy and insecurity - and we can only allay our fears of downward-mobility by loudly asserting how much we deserve our own status, and - perforce - how the less fortunate are all the authors of their own misfortune.
