Have you guys read George Orwell's 'The Road to Wigan Pier'?
It's amazing how much HASN'T changed since it was written. I the first chapter he describes loner men in their twenties who are essentially the incels of their time. They talk about "dodging marriage" although it's evident that they were nowhere near the vicinity of having any female interest. And instead of the internet they were at the library reading newspapers and coming up with silly theories based on both information and disinformation, which they talk endlessly about, much to the chagrin of the author. The astrology sections being especially interesting to them.
He lives amongst the proles as an educated man in disguise. He overcomes his racism and class-based feelings of superiority by first occupying Burma and siding with those he oppressed and then slumming it with the coal miners of North England upon his completion of military service.
It's one of the most fascinating books I've ever read. Really inspires communism and socialism, but it's also very cynical and grounded in reality. He mentions that most of the upper and middle class lefties don't really want the change they advocate for when you get right down to it. And while the lower/working classes would certainly like more money, they had little but suspicion and distaste towards the interests and pursuits of the upper classes. They viewed them as "elitist" and pompous, no matter how the people actually were.
So little has changed in this regard.
I know not everyone is into reading books, so I found a good audiobook version with a good narrator:

He uses the word "bourgeois" a TON. I immediately thought of this website and you guys. You're probably all familiar with it already.
