This guy clearly has some deep thoughts to air out...
The middle class individual, the petty bourgeois, yearns for the righteousness of the proletariat, and avoids coming to terms with their own privileged status. That status frequently precludes them from making moral, ethical decisions, because their fleeting privileges and narrow expertise makes it difficult and dangerous for them to fall out of line [...].
Once you accept that you can begin to think about how to overcome that.
Or you may choose to ignore that and pretend they're just blue collar workers and the very obvious tendencies they display are just because they're temporarily deceived or lack class consciousness. No, they understand who they are, and yearning for proletariat righteousness is part of that understanding. It's one component of a discourse of merit and authenticity, of rationalising their distinct social status.

Honestly, it reads like a massive self-report, as it's coming from a straight-from-uni second-year history PhD. Oh, you've noticed people tend to talk more about things that make them sound righteous rather than complicit? Probably also from people in your field. But it surely doesn't affect you, as you're so aware of the problem and working on being one of the good ones.
