Why do many of our credentialed elite live one way while preaching something totally different? That’s what Rob Henderson wanted to understand when he got to Yale University and saw the well-to-do students at Yale—most of whom grew up in stable, two-parent homes that valued hard work and crime-free,...

“At Yale, I heard beliefs that I’d never encountered before.” Rob Henderson says many of the beliefs celebrated by elites are the same ones that devastated the community he grew up in. “‘Abolish the police.’” “‘We need to end incarceration.’” “‘Empty the prisons.’” “‘We should promote polyamory.’” “‘We should dismantle any kind of conventional or traditional ideas of marriage.’” “‘We need to decriminalize all drugs.’” “All of these ideas that are popular among elites.” “They had an effect on the communities that I grew up in.” “I saw a lot of suffering.” “A lot of addiction.” “A lot of abuse.” “A lot of neglect and abandonment.”

We were thrilled to welcome author and political commentator Rob Henderson—who famously coined the term “luxury beliefs”—as our latest guest at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute's Voices That Inspire speaker series in Vancouver. In a live conversation with MLI Managing Director Brian Lee Crowley, Henderson discussed how today’s elites use luxury beliefs to elicit approval from their social circle—espousing fashionable views like “defund the police” or suggesting that marriage is an outdated, patriarchal institution—while hypocritically not following these beliefs in their own lives. Holding these views “separates you from the unwashed masses, the unenlightened rubes,” says Rob Henderson. “And yet, when you look at the behaviours of these same people, they do not abide by these luxury beliefs.” Watch the full conversation here:

I talk to Rob Henderson about his book Troubled, and his unlikely journey from foster care, to the US Air Force, then Yale, and finally as a professional writer and Twitterer known for his critiques of the American elite. You can watch the whole thing on X, with time stamps below! 0:00 His difficulties finding a book store for his launch 9:37 On why there's relatively little emotion in his book, and his hatred of self-pity 13:01 Does Rob think about heredity and what his biological family was like? What to make of the fact that his biological Korean family was rich? Has he thought of trying to find them? 27:14 Rob finding out he was Mexican from 23&Me. I ask what if his Mexican dad is some kind of Andrew Tate type kingpin. 29:40 Is Rob the most successful foster kid in America? 33:37 Whether he keeps in touch with the people he grew up with, and what they think of Trump 38:38 When did Rob start becoming skeptical of leftist elites? 42:50 How much of a culture shock did Rob experience at Yale? 50:00 Rob on his time in the Air Force, including stints in Germany and Kyrgyzstan 58:50 What's next after this?

In addition to my own experiences with social mobility, my luxury beliefs idea stems from Thorstein Veblen’s work, particularly his 1899 book, The Theory of the Leisure Class. Veblen, a sociologist and economist, described how the elites of his era displayed their status through conspicuous consumption, such as wearing delicate, expensive clothing, carrying pocket watches, or attending lavish ballroom events. While material possessions still play a role in signaling status today, I argue that they have become a noisier indicator of wealth. A century ago, one could easily distinguish the rich from the poor based on appearance alone. However, in our wealthier modern society, where access to goods is more widespread, it’s harder to gauge someone’s wealth at a glance. Instead, status is increasingly expressed through what I call luxury beliefs, which have largely replaced luxury goods. These beliefs reflect what sociologist Pierre Bourdieu termed cultural capital. Elites invest in attending prestigious schools and universities, where they adopt the mannerisms, vocabulary, habits, and fashionable opinions of the upper class. This process enculturates them into the elite and sets them apart from the broader population. For example, while the conventional view might support law enforcement, someone seeking to signal their elite status might advocate for abolishing the police or reimagining law enforcement with ideas like hiring “violence interrupters.” Such unconventional or avant-garde views serve as a way to distinguish oneself from the masses and signal a superior social position.

Negative social judgments are not always cruel. Sometimes they are guardrails. Sometimes the most compassionate thing you can do is tell the truth about which choices lead to suffering and which ones do not. Single parenthood is harder. Substance abuse is destructive. Crime corrodes communities. Pretending otherwise, wrapping these realities in a language of non-judgment and normalization, is not kindness. It is a luxury. It’s what you believe when you are insulated from the consequences. The people who pay the price for luxury beliefs are seldom the people who hold them. Sometimes when I speak about luxury beliefs, critics will reply, “But Rob, you’re talking about elite hypocrisy. That’s nothing new. Elites have always been hypocrites.” And that is correct. Still, I prefer what I call the “John F. Kennedy model of hypocrisy” to what we have now. As many of us now know, JFK was a flawed man, but the image he presented to the American public was that he was a good husband, a good father. In his private life, though, he was a philanderer and often an absentee father and had other shortcomings. But he thought it was important to set an ideal for the general public, even if he fell short of it. And now we have the opposite. Today, our elites get married, they have kids, and for the most part, they live stable, conventional lives. But if you ask them their opinions and attitudes around family, around marriage, around law abidingness, hard work, punctuality, integrity, honesty, and so on, they take a very relaxed attitude. Elites used to pay lip service to conventional values but privately strayed. Now, they are publicly indifferent to or actively support straying, but privately behave in a more conventional way.

The Future is here! The first @IvyFutureOfPakistan Conference - the largest convention on Pakistan in North America, organised by the best and brightest students from the world’s leading schools — wrapped up over the weekend at Yale University. With 40 panelists, 9 panels, 300 participants and Pakistani students from all 8 Ivy League universities representing — from Harvard University to Princeton University to Columbia University to Brown University to Penn to Cornell University to Dartmouth 🌲 — we have found a new way to galvanise the 1.2 million Pakistani Americans who contribute critically to America and Pakistan, and call both countries home. Thanks to all who attended and supported us. And nothing but gratitude for all the brilliant students of Yale who made this happen. As they say in New Haven: For God. For Country. For Yale. Here’s a short clip of what we got up to. More, soon!

This teacher says to his students that he will never remember what grade you got when you leave his class. But, he said he will remember the kindness that certain students showed to other students. He gives two examples of children that were alone or loners and two students taking the time to go out of their way to sit & talk with them to help make them feel like they weren't alone. I wish all teachers cared this much. Our system gets so caught up in the smartest students, the best athletes, the most popular kids and they seem to garner the most attention and favoritism. It's the quiet students, the loners, the awkward ones, the ones who don’t have friends that need attention and help in my opinion. Well done sir. Bravo. 👏 I wish more teachers had your mindset. There is hope yet for our educational system.

#AthleteAnd Father ❤️ In honor of Father's Day, the NFLPA spent time with Washington Washington Commanders punter Tress Way, hearing what fatherhood means to him and why showing up for his family is the role he values most. When Tress walks through the doors of the facility, he's focused on football. When he walks through the door at home, his focus shifts to being the best husband and father he can be. 🔗

🚨 WOW! Stephen Miller just went on an IMPASSIONED speech for Lindsey Graham "To know Lindsay was to know sincerity...the fact that he came to be one of the most important ALLIES of Trump and Trumpism and MAGA made it an even GREATER testament to his character — because it showed that unlike so many people, as I said in my post, Lindsey believed to his CORE in the wisdom and virtue and judgment of the people." "And he was open to learning and embracing new thoughts and new ideas as an elder statement in the party. And by the way, as I told Lindsey, we learned so much from him. We learned so much from Lindsey with his passion, his conviction and his belief in the greatness of America." Stephen Miller

Julian Assange is now a free man. It’s a miracle he’s walking free and a huge victory for the freedom of press. I don’t like the way our government has conducted itself for decades now when it comes to foreign policy, foreign wars, and regime change. Julian revealed the secrets the Deep State never wanted to see the light of day and that’s why they came after him. I wish Julian and his family all the best and hope that one day his name is cleared and receives a full pardon from all charges.

I was having a chat with some friends today, and Beyoncé and Jay Z came up, which made me think about so many things. Beyoncé aside, it’s actually easy to understand why she fell for Jay Z and still loves him. When you watch the people around them, from Kelly to Mama Tina and others, you can see how comfortable and genuinely happy they are around him. He clearly has a magnetic presence and seems like great company. The way he is around Beyoncé is playful and relaxed, and his personality comes across strongly in interviews. Then there’s his intellect. You see it in his interviews,his books, his lyrics, the books he references, his influences, and the way he thinks. There’s a rare depth to him. That’s why most of y’all on stan Twitter struggle to understand their relationship. To a lot of y’all, everything is black and white, and most of y’all operate on a very shallow level. No substance, just negativity, bad vibes, entitlement, and stupidity. And it’s exactly why yall have created this “big bad wolf” narrative around him for years, even without him not being found guilty of anything, cos that’s the only way for yall to make sense of him.

Luxury beliefs are costly to attain. It’s true that in 2020 anyone on the street could have said, “Defund the police.” But you don’t automatically acquire status simply by repeating the slogan. You have to say it in a way that communicates your level of education, upbringing, and cultural capital. It’s similar to knowing a lot about wine. You might be able to fool someone momentarily by mentioning a particular vintage. But if I ask why you like that wine, you need to be able to elaborate in a certain way. The same is true of luxury beliefs. You can’t just say, “Defund the police.” If I ask why, you have to talk about interlocking systems of oppression, violence interrupters, the history of abolition and slavery, and so on. You have to be able to communicate the belief in a specific language. The only way to do that is by passing through certain institutions, having certain kinds of jobs, and being immersed in particular social environments. There is certainly a group-membership signaling component here. But the audience is primarily affluent, college-educated, credentialed people. Those are the people these signals are meant for.

Trying something a little new… Instead of a goal breakdown today, here’s the first of a two part player profile on Hockey Canada and Vegas Golden Knights forward Mark Stone 🇨🇦 . While he frequently shows up on highlights, he also embodies the subtleties of our game and what makes him one of the smartest and most impactful players in the world! Things to look for: - The little plays he makes at each blue line — two of the most critical areas of the ice - His vision hitting second wave on zone entries - His brilliance in the subtle simplicities of his game that make everyone around him better

If you go back to 1960, 95% of children in the U.S. were raised by two married parents, regardless of social class—rich kids and poor kids alike. Fast forward to 2005, and for upper and upper-middle-class families, that number dropped only slightly, from 95% to about 85%. So in those households, the vast majority of kids were still raised by two married parents. For working-class and poor families, it was a different story. In 1960, 95% of kids had two married parents. By 2005, that had plummeted to around 30%. And that’s exactly what I saw growing up. I was a kid in 2005, and in the neighborhoods around me, intact families were rare. I had five close friends. None of us were raised by two married parents. I was in foster homes. Two friends were raised by single moms. Another by a single dad. Another by his grandmother because his mom was on drugs and his dad was in prison. That’s a pretty common picture of working-class families in America now—a lot of family breakdown.

The sharpest observers of class and status in the early and mid–20th century were left-wing intellectuals. In part, this is because they saw themselves as critics of the established order. To challenge a system, you first have to understand it. That outsider perspective often made them unusually perceptive about how status and hierarchy actually worked. A good example is Pierre Bourdieu. In his book Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgement of Taste, he introduced the idea of “cultural capital.” Most people are familiar with economic capital, which refers to money and material resources. Bourdieu’s insight was that elites do not just accumulate wealth. They also convert it into signals of taste and status. In his time, this meant knowledge of fine wine, art, music, and travel. These were not random preferences. They functioned as markers. When someone displayed this kind of knowledge, they were quietly signaling that they belonged to an educated and refined social class, one shaped by elite institutions and social networks. Reading Bourdieu today, the parallels are hard to miss. The specific signals have changed, but the underlying logic remains. This is where the idea of “luxury beliefs” emerges. Many of these beliefs operate as a modern form of cultural capital. They signal membership in a certain class, not through taste in art or wine, but through the right opinions. Those opinions are often shaped in similar ways. People move through private schools and elite universities. They enter professional environments that reward certain viewpoints. They consume particular media and adopt the language and assumptions that circulate within those circles. Over time, their beliefs drift further from those of the broader public. What looks like a set of moral or political commitments can also function as a status signal. In that sense, the mechanism Bourdieu described has not disappeared. It has simply taken on a new form.

John made his Celtic debut in 1959 and would go on to make well over 300 appearances in the hoops, with his finest hour coming in the heat of Lisbon in May, 1967. While John was one of our greatest, he never saw himself as that, his own humility never allowing him to do so 💚🦁

Also, there's a specific part that was completely misunderstood and taken entirely out of context! CHANYEOL was just explaining that he was super thin at debut (1st pic), then got obsessed with bulking up after his military discharge (2nd pic). He already shared before that he went through a hard time back then, and in this clip, he was JUST ADDRESSING the fans' reactions to that period. Then, he found a healthy, balanced routine that got him to his current body (last pic) which he achieved entirely for himself and because HE wanted to, NOT because it’s what fans preferred When one of the MCs asked him about fan preferences, he just answered that they usually like lean figures (WHICH IS WAY TOO FAR FROM HIS CURRENT BUILD). He was literally just answering a question, NOT saying that’s how he OR the members supposed to look! He was just saying he advised the members not to get too obsessed with bulking up THE WAY HE DID! He was referring to the unhealthy mindset and habits that came with it. He NEVER once told them to lose weight “가시” The build that fans prefer is something that neither CHANYEOL NOR any of the members look like, AND HE NEVER told anyone to look like that. I just hope people watch the full video and understand the full context instead of relying on mistranslations and misinformation that take his words completely OUT OF CONTEXT 🙏
