Pretty controversial. I’d like to see more of an argument and consideration of counterarguments. Or alternatively, constructive advice for how to avoid this.
Note this is a joke, a play on the word “underclass” versus “underclassMEN”, which is a word used in anglo countries to refer to freshman and sophmores at university. I’m not actually a fan of the “permanent underclass” idea; I think it’s dumb (basically for the reasons explained in the astral codex ten “permanent moon ownership” essay). Hence my attempt to make fun of the idea.
