#aristocratic — Public Fediverse posts

#QoTD: “#Governments, if they endure, always tend increasingly toward #aristocratic forms. No government in history has been known to evade this pattern. And as the aristocracy develops, government tends more and more to act exclusively in the interests of the ruling class - whether that class be hereditary royalty, #oligarchs of financial empires, or entrenched bureaucracy.

Wonderful evening under falling #snow in London to protect the #right2roam and particularly have access to #greenspaces in urban areas, where they are locked away like this square.
HALF of #UK #land is owned by 1% of its population. The legacy of an #aristocratic system is still oppressing #Britain. Today, #RightToRoam sued #landowner Alexander Darwall who’s seeking to ban the legally enshrined right to #wildcamping in #Dartmoor #nationalpark. @guardian on last night 👉🏽: https://tiny.cc/right2roam

The idea of #Paideia comes from the ancient #pagan #hellenic culture and aims to unfold the human potential to become #aristocratic in the original Greek meaning of becoming the very best of your self. The concept tries to gain #arete, often mistranslated as virtue but meaning rather "excellence", of the human potential. That means to embody the idea of a healthy, just, creative and good being to uphold the idea of human nature in the meaning the ancient #greek had.
