Golf has to be up there
Ecological disaster, using land as a status symbol showing off how much you can afford to have and not use, the obvious class dynamics between players and those who work the joint, golf has to be in the running for most bourgeois hobby
Mini golf is fine and has fewer of these issues
Nah, golf doesn’t have to be
Have
Thanks
Really? Do I have to say it? we all know that its sexual abuse of children.
Not sure I’d call that a hobby, but I can see where you’re coming from.
Pedophilia, Immortality schemes and trying to create their own ideal societies usually in the form of company towns or private islands.
I’d say golf. Petite bourgeois and labor aristocrats LOVE it as well.
Hunting the most dangerous game
A decent book, I do wonder how close to non-fiction it is.
Depends on the bourgeoisie
- Petit-bourgeois: wage theft
- Bourgeois: wage theft + Child abuse
Boating, anything involving horses, falconry, aviation, and travel. Not sure which order you could place them in because there’s always someone at each end of the extreme. I.e. someone who does veterinary care for falcons vs. that guy who had a 747 custom modified to take like 50 falcons with him to hunt wherever.
Bush craft. That can get really pricy.
Dog Breeding has to be one of the most bourgeoisie past-time.
Learning French.
I was learning French :(
then I’m the biggest bourgeois there ever was
Exotic game hunting (poaching)
Tax evasion
maintaining the dictatorship of capital
Covering up the murder of your entire family with a huge explosion so you have the 20 tons of gold hidden in the old military base on your father’s private island to yourself, causing a rash of speculation and conspiracy theories about what could have happened on that fateful day
Who is this about?
the bourgeoisie
Oh and also child abuse of course
Umineko reference?
the only correct answer is golf
Horses, boats, hunting.
A lot of poors in farm country hunt and fish with rickety weapons and flat-bottom boats that may or not have outboard motors. They’re a clean shot, too, since ammo is expensive.
boats
Rich man’s folly and poor man’s dream
Didn’t know Sentinelese were bourgeoisie
depending on where you are; you can get some cheap hulls and throw on a motor from marketplace all for under 500 bucks. You can get a boat set up for a lot cheaper than a car. Lots of people who are not wealthy use boats to feed themselves in certain parts of America.

It’s not a hobby for them, though, but means of living. That also include people who do hunt for food or rare but still existing ones who use horses to make living traditional way, for example in some places in Central Asia. Question was about hobby.
That’s true. Hunting and fishing means food when money is scarce and keeping wild hogs out of the garden.
