So..what are, in your opinion ,the most bouj/petit-bouj hobbies

???????

why "pic unrelated"? it's the best part about your post
made me giggle and snort

So this is just my opinion, I'm obviously not republicanon, but basically in my experience its always petit-bourg/bourg people who are really into that stuff largely because they can afford it/have the time to do so. I think the weakest of them are camping and swimming tho (I don't really think they're really bourg), but basically you've got a certain lifestyle lots of working class people can't get into. I guess to elaborate what I mean and kinda respond to it isn't about the act of swimming but more like having your own pool or having the time and money to become a swimming buff etc.

You really can't pin it too hard on class, but like obviously a dude who works in a factory for 40+ hours a week isn't going to have the kind of money to be going on road trips and camp in crazy places all the time.

Truth is, bourg hobbies don't have a particular manifestation/type of hobby. Generally it's about the quality of the execution of the hobby, e.g. anyone can have a hobby drawing but the bourg version of the hobby would be having a private drawing tutor and collecting the best drawing materials out there. You can like to make models but only bourg hobbyists will have entire model battlefields that cost $1,000+. You can like to fish but only the bourg will have his own boat and 20+ different designer fishing rods. Anything can be a bourg hobby, and I think we're reaching a point where only the upper/middle class can even really have hobbies anymore, and since that class is becoming fewer and fewer, it can make it seem like any hobby is a bourg hobby.

Please stop mixing bourgeois socioeconomic strata with Marxist class analysis. It makes whatever point you're trying to make about the supposed bourgeois nature of an activity incoherent.

This is such an emberassing thread. Zig Forums is against idpol but apparently using your class to form your identity is cool

Yeah this guy is right

to elaborate
basically this
I'm not dialectically claiming these are bourgeois hobbies. I am claiming that if you look at the demographics of the Americans who participate in these regularly, you will likely find they are not proletarian.

I reckon that a sizable amount of people who swim as a hobby belong to private or semi-private country clubs. Particularly the people who swim the most.

I get what you mean and I think there's something to it but I'm not quite sure if it necessarily makes any particular activity bourgeois. A prole can buy into the consumerist aspects of an activity, buying all the latest gadgets and gear for camping, and a member of the bourgeoisie could eschew that approach by taking a minimalist approach to whatever hobby they're undertaking. It's more of a consumerist mentality fostered by bourgeois society then any essential class nature of the activity itself.

Or they go to a public pool.
When I worked in a labor union I had most weekends free and made around $48/hour. Was I bourgeois because I went camping and had a car?
The taste thing is entirely subjective and aside from some reasonable starting costs for material (somewhere around $100-$200) you can make beer significantly cheaper than what's available at the store.

Yeah I agree, actually. I should've had a bit more emphasis on when I said

furry fandom
it has (literally?) taken consumerism to an art-form.

i actually laughed
