Pulling Up the Ladder

A social phenomenon in which individuals or groups who have successfully advanced in status, wealth, or opportunity then act to block others from accessing the same path upward.

Key Features:

Motivated by fear of competition, scarcity mindset, or desire to protect hard-won status.

Can manifest in politics (e.g., immigrants opposing immigration), economics (e.g., professionals gatekeeping their fields), or class mobility (e.g., elites dismantling welfare or education programs they once benefited from).

Example (fictional): Raymond Leon in the movie "In Time" rises out of poverty to become a Timekeeper but enforces the very system that traps others where he once was.
Example (real): An immigrant who gained citizenship but campaigns to restrict immigration for others.
1. After becoming wealthy through public education, the politician now opposes funding for schools, effectively pulling up the ladder behind him.

2. Some immigrants, once they gain citizenship, support restrictive immigration policies — a classic case of pulling up the ladder.

Pulling a Matt

A colloquial term referring to the act of aggressively or violently assaulting an acquaintance, associate, or individual within one's social circle for trivial or inconsequential reasons.

This behavior is typically characterized by a disproportionate response to minor provocations, often involving physical force or intimidation, and may reflect underlying emotional instability or a lack of impulse control. The term is frequently used informally to describe impulsive acts of aggression that are unjustifiable given the circumstances.
Example 1
"Yo bro, that motherfucker is Pulling a Matt!"
"What do you mean?"

"He's fuckin' choking my bro out!"

Example 2
"Hey man did you hear what John did to Seth?"
"Nah bro what?"
"He Pulled a Matt after losing in Uno."
"No shit, that dudes psycho."
