Classism

The Story

A single childhood comment about a "Kabukabu" car opens the door to something bigger: how classism starts early, how humiliation sticks, and why people who feel "above" others can do real damage. I recount one painful school memory and turn it into a sharp, personal look at social and economic prejudice. What seemed like a kid's insult becomes the episode's central question: why do people use money, possessions, and status to rank each other as if they are somehow worth more? You'll discover:

• How classism shows up in everyday life, even among children
• Why psychological bullying can cut deeper than physical harm
• The mindset behind people who confuse wealth with superiority
• How shame around class can shape behaviour, ambition, and self-worth
• Why constant comparison can push people toward dissatisfaction and destructive choices

Join me as I also unpack what classism really means - prejudice, discrimination, and systemic disadvantage based on social or economic class - and connect that definition back to the lived reality many people face every day. The story is personal, but the warning is universal: when status becomes identity, everyone loses. Essential listening if you've ever been judged for where you come from, what you own, or what your family can afford. If you care about dignity, self-worth, and calling out snobbery for what it is, this episode will hit hard.
