i mean, it is. while there are other species that can talk, cows, mules, donkeys, griffons, and dragons are all second-class citizens. they don't seem to get any representation in government.

not that Equestria seems to have much government beyond the two god-kings

like, there's a whole Thing about how Equestrian ponies by and large don't trust zebras

@BestGirlGrace this reminds me of the time I got wayyyy too drunk and said "APPLE JACK IS FUCKING LANDED GENTRY"

@QuakerWanker see, I read Applejack as working class. Yes, she and her family own the farm, but she struggles to, say, pay for her grandmother's hip replacement

@BestGirlGrace @QuakerWanker A definitional element of the middle class is its precariousness.

@agonist @BestGirlGrace @QuakerWanker for what reference the comics are worth, in one issue where the mane 6 are afflicted by a weird evil hex, they all become bad versions of themselves and applejack's whole thing is she starts demanding rent from the CMCs. Applejack functionally operates within a peasant class area too me
