Your “ἄρiςτοi” [aristocrats] are the most difficult Animals to manage, of any thing in the whole Theory and practice of Government. They will not Suffer themselves to be governed. They not only exert all their own Subtilty Industry and courage, but they employ the Commonalty, to knock to pieces every Plan and Model that the most honest Architects in Legislation can invent to keep them within bounds.
John Adams (1735–1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797–1801)

A quotation from George Orwell
One ought not to pay any attention to Hitler’s recent line of talk about being the friend of the poor man, the enemy of plutocracy, etc etc. Hitler’s real self is in Mein Kampf, and in his actions. He has never persecuted the rich, except when they were Jews or when they tried actively to oppose him. He stands for a centralised economy which robs the capitalist of most of his power but leaves the structure of society much as before. The State controls industry, but there are still rich and poor, masters and men. Therefore, as against genuine Socialism, the moneyed class have always been on his side. This was crystal clear at the time of the Spanish civil war, and clear again at the time when France surrendered. Hitler’s puppet government are not working men, but a gang of bankers, gaga generals and corrupt right-wing politicians.
George Orwell (1903-1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]

Many speak the truth, when they say that they despise riches and preferment, but they mean the riches and preferment possessed by other men.

" ... and looked over my Lord's lodgings; and Whitehall garden and the Bowling-ally, where lords and ladies are now at bowles ..."
You are at the centre, Sam. High up in the King's administration, at home in Whitehall, now looking at the private amusements of the upper class.
These vignettes have so much cinematic poetry in them.

Since the Bio field has such a short character limit, consider this to be my profile/biography.
I don't write about American politics, race, anticapitalism, world affairs (wars, poverty, oppression, etc.), loneliness, bad self-esteem, or anxiety/depression, and will not add those who do so often. The same is true of those who feel it necessary to use obscenities. I am not a modern programmer or gamer, I do not use Linux, and I don't care what social network you use.Hello. For the sake of honesty, Georgiana Brummell is not my legal name, but it is what I use. I live in New Jersey and am forty-two years old. Some of my interests include studying dandyism, nineteenth-century English grammar, Upper Received Pronunciation, the Italian language, the Regency, opera, and MS-DOS. I like coffee, tea, wine, cooking, British literature, nature and historical documentaries, gardening, cats, hot weather, and playing cards and dice. I love opera, particularly singers from the 1940-s and earlier. classical music, from Baroque through early Romantic, and popular music from the 1950's through the 1970's. I prefer antique menswear and accessories. I love wit, wordplay, and dry humour without vulgarity. I am a happily childfree, atheist. I love cats. I have been totally blind since I was two months old, due to Retinopathy of Prematurity. I am single and prefer men over sixty, though more so over seventy

It is true, there has been among us a party for some years, consisting chiefly not of the descendants of the first settlers of this country but of high churchmen and high statesmen, imported since, who affect to censure this provision for the education of our youth as a needless expence, and an imposition upon the rich in favour of the poor — and as an institution productive of idleness and vain speculation among the people, whose time and attention it is said ought to be devoted to labour, and not to public affairs or to examination into the conduct of their superiours. And certain officers of the crown, and certain other missionaries of ignorance, foppery, servility and slavery, have been most inclined to countenance and increase the same party.

We need to talk about the classism of #Moderate #liberals.
Oh, the moderate liberal. There is a profound lack of empathy amongst what we would call the mainstream of the #DemocraticParty.
So, here's the thing. You want everyone to have an #EV. Well, an #ElectricVehicle requires charging. That pretty much requires a garage.
What about #solar? Well, if you are renting, you can't install solar panels. Nor does the #landlord have any incentives to ever install them.
Banning #plastic bags? A tax on poor people who traditionally got multiple uses out of every single plastic grocery bag.
Time and time again you see the #Democratic party, often along with #MiddleClass and #UpperClass #leftists and #progressives argue in favor of policies without a hint of empathy for the lived day to day reality of people who are #poor, #InnerCity or #rural.
Can you really be surprised that #Newsom decided to attack #homeless encampments? In his worldview, homelessness is a defect of the system, not an inherent product of it.
Fewer roads, fewer cars. Sure, but it sounds frightening when you have to drive to a dockyard that's two miles from a transit station.
The reason that a lot of #poor people in the US view the #Democrats as traitors is because they have traditionally _been_ class traitors.
The loudest progressive voices are usually the most privileged voices. So, they just sound like more class traitors without a moment of reflection on the actual lives of actual working people.

Really struck by this description of #Boris Johnson by Anthony Seldon from his new book on Johnson's time as UK Prime Minister:
Johnson, Seldon says, had "contempt for the Tory party, contempt for the cabinet, contempt for the civil service, contempt for the EU, contempt for the army, contempt for business, contempt for intellectuals, contempt for universities.”Classic #UpperClass breeding!!

@kbensimon the trials and tribs the mostly born rich & corrupt US #UpperClass go through.
They have so much unearned wealth & power to lose, so they stress out to a different degree than people working check to check, struggling to feed families and make ends meet.
