If you need to sell your labor for wages to have an income. You are working class. End of story. Does not matter what you work as. Stupid bullshit job. Something depraved. Something charitable. Whatever.
I feel like bourgeois reformists keep dividing the working class into unhelpful and arbitrary lines. Like “lower”, “middle” and “upper” class. Or in this case i guess “priviledged” and “unpriviledged” jobs. Social relations are more than your net worth.
Generally the same reason people like to video games to emulate real life even if they do not want the games to be real
