……能让“普通老百姓”产生共鸣，而他在1952年大选中的对手则是完全相反的类型。不管怎么说，我敢说关于这点你肯定看过不少我常看的资料，不过我还是要提一下 C. 赖特·米尔斯的《权力精英》，以及汤姆·沃尔夫的《泵房帮》和《糖果色橘片风貌流线型婴儿》。米尔斯打破了2025年的还原论思维，因为他指出权力精英并不只有单一的一种，而是存在多个……
…relatable to "the common man" whereas his opponent in the 1952 election was the opposite type. Anyhow I'm sure that you've seen many of my favorite sources on this but I'll point out both C. Wright Mills The Power Elite and the Tom Wolfe books The Pump House Gang and The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby. Mills defies the reductivism of 2025 in that he says there is not just one power elite but multiple…
这套说辞太老掉牙了……早在1990年代，我们常说记者是左派，但报社老板也是左派。C. 赖特·米尔斯的《权力精英》依然值得一读 https://www.thoughtco.com/c-wright-mills-power-elite-3026474 我从中读出的感悟是，精英不止一种：有拥有房车营地的那种老板……
This is such an old discourse... Back in the 1990s we used to say that the journalists were left-wing but the person who owned the paper was left-wing. C. Wright Mill's "Power Elite" is still worth reading https://www.thoughtco.com/c-wright-mills-power-elite-3026474 What I got out of it is that there is more than one kind of elite: there is the person who owns the trailer parks…
再次强调，这背后根本不需要有什么阴谋（正如侃爷以为的那样），纯粹就是市场（和“算法”）筛选的结果。就像 C. 赖特·米尔斯在《权力精英》中所写的那样：“无论接受哪种观点——把所有历史视为阴谋，抑或把所有历史视为随波逐流——都是在放弃努力去理解权力的现实以及权贵们的行事方式。”我们当下处境的精确形态……
Again, there doesn't need to be a conspiracy behind it (as Kanye believes) it's just what the market (and "the algorithm") selects for. As C. Wright Mills wrote in The Power Elite, "To accept either view -- of all history as conspiracy or all history as drift -- is to relax the effort to understand the facts of power and the ways of the powerful." The precise form of our situation…
……同时也在向普遍观念发起挑战。我觉得“酷”精准概括了汤姆·沃尔夫笔下的主要地位层级……不过，酷也可以像上帝那样具有个人色彩……（所以用“personal sky”作为别名完全说得通。）《权力精英》看起来挺有意思……等我读完有了心得再告诉你……
…concurrently tilting at the universal. I'd say "cool" captures Tom Wolfe's master status hierarchy.. Cool can be personal in the way God is, though.. (so "personal sky" as an alias makes complete sense.) The Power Elite looks interesting.. I'll let you know when something comes out of reading that..
正如 C. 赖特·米尔斯（《权力精英》）、保罗·福塞尔（《格调》）、汤姆·沃尔夫（《泵房帮》）等人的著作中所指出的那样，社会阶级的多维程度令人震惊。在我的大家族里，一个大学教授都没有，但有很多警察，甚至有很多女警察。（倒有几个会计，……
Social class is astonishingly multidimensional as pointed out in the works of C. Wright Mills (Power Elite), Paul Fussel (Class), Tom Wolfe (The Pump House Gang), etc. In my extended family there are no college professors, but a lot of cops, even a lot of women that are cops. (There are some accountants,…
……攫取了绝对权力，于是普通公民就成了用完即弃的消耗品，而这实质上正是现实中发生的事。存在着一种极度麻木的冷漠。“我是说，这些人——C. 赖特·米尔斯在《权力精英》里就写过这个——他们完全是脱节的。我是说，他们唯一接触过的工人阶级成员就是伺候他们的人——他们的园丁或者司机。他们生活在自我封闭的温室泡泡里。……
…take absolute power, then the citizens become disposable, which is in essence what’s happened. There is a very callous indifference. “I mean, these people — and C. Wright Mills wrote about this in ‘The Power Elite’ — they’re utterly cut off. I mean, the only people they ever meet who are members of the working class are people who work for them–their gardeners or their chauffeurs. They live in self-encased bubbles.…
