"Real talk" means skipping the niceties and getting to the point. e.g. If an elite hires someone to clean their house: they quickly agree on a cleaning price, no chit-chat is expected in either direction if they cross paths, when cleaning is finished they leave immediately, if they don't do a good job they'll be replaced, if they do a good job they'll be retained.

Elites don't do this (as much) to the middle class because: 1) they (members of middle class) aren't as easily interchangeable 2) they're workhorses that produce a good ROI 3) the elites clearly see the delusional reality most of the middle class lives in, and are happy to egg it on to keep the machine churning.
