It's called false consciousness. The workers are socialized through media, religion, and other social institutions, to identify with and support the ruling class. You see this in the way they adore Elmo Skum. I've known IT workers who bragged about the fancy car they basically bought for their manager.
Yes, it's a Marxist perspective. But Marx wasn't wrong.

My wife and I are what you'd call upper middle class. Thanks to our college education, union jobs in public agencies, and mostly being smart with money, our assets are not meager.
Are you like me? Don't think you're exempt. They're coming for our assets too. They want all of us living paycheck to paycheck, begging our employers to not fire us.
What I'm saying is, the class struggle is everyone's struggle. If you're not a billionaire, you're at risk. Act like it.
There's not going to be any "revolution." I have a master's degree in sociology. I could explain why, but it would be boring.
