Luxury Ball - dp7 #86

"Luxury belief" is a term coined by the American writer Rob K. Henderson to describe beliefs which "confer status on the upper class at very little cost, while often inflicting costs on the lower classes". Individuals accused of having luxury beliefs are seen as privileged and disconnected from the experiences of working class, impoverished, or marginalized people. Such individuals are considered to hold political and social beliefs that signal their elite status; these beliefs are putatively for the benefit of the marginalized but are alleged to have negative impacts on them.
