I think the “familiarity breeds contempt” thing might be projection on the test writer’s part. The phrase can be interpretted lots of ways but I always took it to mean that getting to know something or someone intimately breaks down the reverential view people often have of institutions and heroes. Often the results of tearing down that veil aren’t pretty.
IDK, my experience with the burgerland “middle class” has made me feel contempt for it.
Totes. It can, and often should, be taken literally at face value. There are a lot of extremely ugly people and institutions in the world that hide behind a benign facade.
