OP pic should read introverted. Not antisocial.

Antisocial behaviors are disruptive acts characterized by covert and overt hostility and intentional aggression toward others. Unless you actually mean someone who goes around setting things on fire and wrecking public places.

Introverted is the opposite of extroverted, and the introverts are the quiet people who do not enjoy the company of other people as much as they enjoy being by themselves.

The point is the upper classes through their resentment of the masses will unconsciously wreck whatever society allows them to be.

Going off on a tangent somewhat, but I (an unemployed 20-something from a very middle class family) was invited to a gala at a very rich person's house. Like, they have an oscar of their own and the artworks on the wall are all worth $100k sort of rich, with full catering and live music.

I met all sorts of people there, including a doctor and the editor of a major national newspaper.

Strangely, they didn't seem to harbour a resentment for the masses and were all very friendly.

It's the people who THINK they should be upper class but aren't that seem to cause a good chunk of problems.
