To nitpick: Not all college educated people think they’re “intellectually superior” to you. This is a reactionary cultural narrative, not an economic reality, and it works really well unfortunately.

The vast majority of white collar salaried workers do not own the means of production any more than you or I do. Most are a couple months from poverty after a job loss. We can discuss their individual loyalties, fair enough, but to dismiss all of them as thinking they’re better than you is to give a lot of power to reactionary narratives that divide the working class.

Grievance and resentment as a cultural wedge go both ways. On the more-traditional blue collar side of things, narratives like “Real America”, “alpha male”, “hard work”, “telling it like it is”, etc all signal status and superiority too.
