If I wore a collar it'd be blue. Only a dark red neck for me.

It's interesting to me, how people can be sorta both.

[–] • 3 pts

I've never thought of that. I've wore ties and slacks to work in the past. Now I wear whatever holds up to the environment.

You're probably pretty unique, like most the people here I would think.

If you've spent most of your time in a cleanroom, you're anti-static-collar.

If I had to pick I'd say I'm a dark blue polo kinda guy. Sure I have a desk job, and most of the time I do paperwork and project management but when it comes time I get my hands dirty. Hell most days I come home from work, pull the polo off and go back outside to work on fixing my house.

I can relate, it's far harder to pigeonhole people than you might think.

So you've done both? I certainly have.

My mom's side are hillbilly types from eastern KY, blue collar types. Grandpa on that side was a heavy machine operator and woodworker. He bought 100 acres of land in the mid 80s and built a 2 story log cabin along with his brother and cousin on this land. My grandmother kept a journal, describing what was going on month to month with the construction. Totally mindblowing reading about these men working on this thing. My fondest memory as a child was helping those "mountain men" mix the cement to put between the logs. These men felt like fucking super heroes to me.

That's fantastic, all of it.

It became a place where the men in the family would go for different hunting seasons. You drive on a dirt road a couple miles off the main road just to reach the cabin. A truly magical place. My grandpa passed earlier this year. He left such a great part of him here.

You were really lucky, very few children have an experience like that (as I mentioned, my Grandpa was a drunk and my dad was never around, hardly knew him he worked so much, and didn't care much for me). Congrats.

Working class / Blue collar

Outlaw biker/carny/black-marketeer/merc. Don't think any of that fits either spot. Late in life I was a herbalist, then seed broker...maybe white collar?

Neat, it seems there's so many unique people like that here on Poal. Interesting people for sure.

Les cous rouge.

You is a redneck and maybe a Cajun.

White trash aren't blue collar, they barely work as it is.

[–] • 2 pts

That's a great point, thanks for that.

My 'trash' side of the family did indeed always work and made a good living. The women folk labeled the husbands as 'weekend drunks.'

Trashy and sinners, but not white trash apparently, not truly.

Im from a similarly mixed family. My branch is sort of the low class among my family. But the "high class" ones all raised a bunch of communist losers for kids... so yeah. Fuck em.

True, same with me, that side of the family there are even pro democrat lobbyists in a very liberal large city and two of them married negroes to prove they are 'progressive.'

[–] • 3 pts

Yeah. More and more im finding "high class" just means "low morals". Which any rational person always suspected anyway

[–] • 3 pts

Only in jewed societies. High moral, high intelligence people question the narrative from an early age, before they understand the treachery of liberals, and as a result they get subverted thier whole life. They are unfairly graded, have opportunities taken away, and are slandered behind thier back.
