  1. #Aristocrats have to realize their precarious position because we can exist (nay, thrive) without them, but they are #peasants (like us) without us. We aren’t afraid of #poverty and #suffering. They’ve never known any of that, so it terrifies them. They never stop worrying about us, subconsciously. Hence, the endless #legislation against us, and against our interests (living wage, #health care, #retirement #security). And that’s where police are needed: to protect the the #wealth of a small number of #aristocrats from the rest of the #hungry #world.

  3. The #UK is ejecting hereditary #nobles from #Parliament after 700 years

    By Jill Lawless, March 11, 2026

    Excerpt: "Centuries of British political tradition will end within weeks after Parliament voted to remove hereditary #aristocrats from the unelected House of Lords.

    "On Tuesday night members of the upper chamber dropped objections to legislation passed by the House of Commons ousting dozens of #dukes, #earls and #viscounts who inherited seats in Parliament along with their aristocratic titles.

    "Government minister Nick Thomas-Symonds said the change put an end to 'an archaic and undemocratic principle.'

    " 'Our parliament should always be a place where talents are recognized and merit counts,' he said. 'It should never be a gallery of old boys’ networks, nor a place where titles, many of which were handed out centuries ago, hold power over the will of the people.' "

  8. The aristocrats of the United States and other countries are pedophile rapists. These bastards control the whole world. I believe the US is getting closer to a revolution.

    If you are worth $100,000,000 or more, then you don't have to abide by the law in the USA. #Billionaires are exempt from laws there. Only the poor must obey ... and earn the money for that fourth ocean-going yacht...

    We know what guillotines are for, though. It's a thought? 👍 #aristocrats

    THANK YOU!

    I loved Downton Abbey for years, but when I was looking for something fresh after it ended, it seemed every f'in program was either about #Aristocrats or #Copaganda

    That wasn't my first clue, but it definitely turned me off most #USian programs.

    Here's one I found that's about working class poor folks. Wish there were more like it

    I remember times when convicted felons had to spend their jailtime behind bars and war criminals where delivered to Den Hague.

    Only a "few" years later, such figures are the leaders of the most powerful nations on earth and behave like #aristocrats and do whatever they want.

    And leaders of democracies still believe those figures would follow any rules or respect any agreements. And so all democratic achievements will be lost, globally.

    Anyone heard about #ToleranceParadox ? 🤨

  18. 🎩 Oh, the scandal! A relic from '45 is still causing #controversy 😂 Apparently, Waugh's prose is too posh and his faith too flamboyant for the modern reader's delicate sensibilities. 🙄 Who knew that stuffing a book full of #aristocrats and Catholic overtones could be so outrageous? 📚💥

  20. Their presence will shower nearly a trillion dollars’ worth of legitimacy upon #Trump — a demonstration that he has triumphed over decency & the rule of #law & is now fully accepted & feared by the well-heeled & the powerful, by #corporate America, by the #establishment. We are witnessing a melding of #oligarchy & #Trumpism. (In the days before the ceremony, there was a host of parties throughout DC, mounted by #tech #aristocrats to celebrate Trump’s inauguration.)

  22. Hey, #US #tipping is a part of #CRT? Because they wanted to still treat black people like #slaves? It's an old practice from a time of serfdom, brought over from the middle east to the US because it made white people feel like #aristocrats? Neat... and by neat, I mean horrible and an outdated, barbaric practice.

    Remember to PAY your servers... wait, they didn't? Swathes of restaurants went bankrupt after #COVID because #workers were sick and tired of being exploited?

    Amazing.

  23. The elite: "On Tuesday, federal prosecutors charged Mr. Jeffries, 80, with running a sex trafficking scheme from at least 2008 to 2015, while he was at the helm of the company, coercing young men to attend events around the world where he and his romantic partner sexually exploited them."

  25. I love the #aristocrats so much. They're all amazing musicians, and I know the whole "best guitarist in the world" question is a nonsensical subjective opinion thing that's silly to even raise, but it's Guthrie Govan, isn't it?

  26. In effect, the #democrats, the #republicans, the #tories, #Macron 's party, every neo and classical liberal party, only want to kill whatever commonly held infrastructure there is, to show how liberalized their economy is, no matter what damage or effect that has on economy, their citizens, geopolitical security, etc.

    In effect, #liberals are the new #aristocrats, who are trying their best to sow up #oligarchy for them and their friends, so they can fuck off back to their gated community.
