A quotation from C. C. Colton

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

Charles Caleb "C. C." Colton (1780-1832) English cleric, writer, aphorist
Lacon: Or, Many Things in Few Words, Vol. 1, § 371 (1820)

" ... 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.

#Disruption wie sie #Trump #Musk und andere rechte milliardenschwere Kleptomanen und Soziopathen betreiben, zeigt die ganze Verachtung der #Upperclass gegenüber Mittel- und Unterschicht demokratischer Gesellschaften. Die Kopulation zwischen #Kapitalismus, radikalisiertem #Konservatismus und #Faschismus

A quotation from John Adams

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.

John Adams (1735-1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797-1801)
Essay (1765-09-30), “A Dissertation on the Canon and the Feudal Law,” No. 3, Boston Gazette

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.

The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie | Rotten Tomatoes

The ambassador of the Latin American republic of Miranda (Fernando Rey), M. Thevenot (Paul Frankeur), his wife Simone (Delphine Seyrig) and her sister Florence (Bulle Ogier) arrive for a dinner party at the house of Alice Sénéchal (Stéphane Audran) and her husband Henri (Jean-Pierre Cassel), only to learn that they were mistaken about the date. In director Luis Buñuel's surreal fantasy, the six bourgeois friends repeatedly gather for a dinner that never quite arrives.
