Are they twats because they're upper middle class, or because they want to go on vacation to Bali? Or maybe both?

Edit: the point that I'm driving at (if it wasn't clear) is that we seem to all want upward mobility to be a thing, but boy do we hate those that actually experience it. That seems almost like it's own kind of pessimism to me.

You don't have to go on holiday across the world.

But for the record I don't give a shit just don't preach environmentalism. Hypocrisy is just one of those things that crawls up my butt.
