Hatred of intellectual elites is one of the signs of fascism, BTW.
Anyway, you are not paid for breaking your back, you’re paid for having a valuable skill. If that skill is just being a grunt, everyone can do it, you are replaceable. If that skill is managing grunts, only few can do it, you are less replaceable, thus can get a higher pay.
If you really think, moving into a superior role doesn’t deserve more pay, you are being fucked by your employer. You don’t understand the system you’re working in and you’re lashing out against those stoopid office workers because you don’t understand that they are not responsible for your misery, your boss is.
No one is hating intellectual elites here. You are not an intellectual elite by virtue of being a computer programmer.
There’s a sharp divide between “computer socialists” and “blue collar socialists” in my opinion. You are the former, I am the latter. I understand that the person managing the laborers and the laborers themselves are probably entitled to roughly the same pay - as laboring fucking blows. You believe that the “managerial” class should always make more and more money.
Compared to a factory worker, of course a well paid developer is an elite.
The divide you’re trying to create here is bullshit. Mostly because we’re not talking about any form of socialism, but about the real world of capitalism we’re both living in.
And a foreman is no “managerial” class. Just a better qualified worker. Nothing more.
Intellectual does not mean “having a PhD in sociology and literature”, it means “working with your mind”. That’s why there’s a suspiciously close relation with the word “intelligence”.

You glorify physical labor for no reason.
No one but you considers developers “elites” lmfao. Most laughable programmer
That’s why there’s a qualifying context in my statement.
But apparently, context isn’t your strong suit.
I don’t think anyone in the world would consider you an intellectual
I don’t think that’s on you to decide.

Yes, you are not an intellectual or intelligent.
Well, personal insults won’t bring you far.
