Entitlement society, that too. Yes.
Although that can be deceptive. 'Entitlement' is what the propertied classes call the lower classes vying for their piece of the pie. Which nicely returns us to class. If only because I am now relishing in the fact that we may turn a 'double wide stoller on a redneck rampage' thread into a discussion about Marx!
WDW has moved downwards from middle classes to lower classes. Lower classes need to physically and verbally exert dominance over their immediate surroundings. It is the sole means at their disposal, culturally and economically, over their immediate physical territory, which is the extend of their personal domain, economically and psychologically. Upper class can yield, he is the winner in the public sphere by default, and so only needs to concern himself with cultural capital, with an outward display of good upbringing. Whereas the un-propertied classes will - to use their language here for added effect - be ****** over if they do not defend their turf.
Not that it is a matter of superior behaviour. If you want to see the propertied classes misbehave, observe them during that uncertain period of time when inheritances are divided, when they will do their shoving and pushing as much as the trailer parker pushes and shoves his way to a Turkey leg stand.
