This has kinda been going on forever in one form or another. We've just replaced the peasantry with the proletariat and the nobles with guys who own a string of used car dealerships

Why does this happen, though? Why do the trod-upon classes concern themselves with the meaningless drama of the rich? Why does it inspire amusement and intrigue rather than rage? biden_whywhywhy.avi

I can understand why someone would be curious about the lives of established celebrities like your Osbournes or Kardashians, or the inherent struggles of a family where most of them are little people or whatever

These are just generic rich suburban assholes
