A work by Tom Wolfe describing how wealthy Manhattanites would try to make it appear they prepared dinner parties on their own rather than employing servants.
"See for example how Tom Wolfe describes how fancy Manhattanites would try to make it look like they prepared their dinner parties entire on their own in Radical Chic. You also don't at least publicly see people like Bezos advertising how they have a butler and entire team of support workers—American"
"It's the last vestige of radical chic. The only thing you can say that can still kindve get you in trouble. Everything else has been subsumed by neoliberalism & honestly even Palestine slacktivism is getting commodified."
