Have you ever been told in your daily life, "Hmph, you common people wouldn't understand that."? No, right? There is no class system in Japan today, so in reality, almost all of the people can be said to be common people. Or rather, if the word "common people" was only used to distinguish between the privileged class and those who are not, the word "common people" may no longer be necessary in today's Japan. Because we are all the same people. However, the word "common people" is still used frequently today. A certain politician was falsely accused of "not having a common sense," and a quiz competition was held in the Diet. In today's Japan, the word "common people" clearly means "I'm not rich." People have come to be classified not by class, but by the amount of income. In that case, there must be a word that corresponds to "common people." If there are people who use such words humbly, I think it's fine for there to be people who use arrogant words to balance things out. I understand that bowing down to one another is considered a virtue, but then what should you say about people who are really rich? Should you lie? Like "rich people" or "noble people"? I guess this is how the class system started... (Edited by Mushimegane) Hello, this is Tokai On Air. Please subscribe to our channel!
