I feel like when I watch people on camera, old-rich or born and raised and contiguously upper class people move their faces slower. Trump does not count, he is Nouveaux Riche i believe.
Their lives are theoretically less precarious so it kinda makes sense
I disagree. There are plenty of very classy people who are neither rich nor part of the upper class. There are plenty of people who are in the upper class who not only are not classy, but who are actually quite crass and disgusting. Also there are plenty of so called “upper class” people who have lost most of their wealth and are just struggling to keep up appearances.
I’d say they are three very different and distinctive terms. They certainly can cross over each other a lot but that doesn’t make them all the same thing.
Im not talking about being classy or empathetic, I have a theory that rich or upper class people tend to move their faces slower because they are desensitized to most negative stimuli because they can often buy their way out of shit and also they were raised to show less emotion and live up to their names or stations
I dont view them less positively or more negatively for that per se, I just think they are brought up with less emotional response to normal things that would drive a more visceral and visually apparent result in most regular people
Upper class doesnt necessarily = classy
