Obedience classes

Posted by Parson Thru on Sun, 17 Jul 2016

Since language appears to be a key weapon in the battle that clouds the soul of the UK, would it be worth asking the moral majority what they define as the "elite"? We might find there are more elites than anyone thought. The same with "ordinary". Who are these ordinary folk? It seems to me it might be a little too easy to point the finger at a nebulous term and let slip the dogs of war.

I think you're being a bit disingenuous here.

I think "elite" has been used as just another bogeyman. Rabble-rousers like Nigel Mirage and others aren't earning their pay with this tactic. Make them work harder.

I little bit of Jack (Kerouac) reminds me of the tragic conditions for seamen on the quayside before WW2. Then they died like rats in the North Atlantic for six years. That, in turn, reminds me that Capital moves work to where desperate people climb over each other to reach it. Be careful what you give up to please your pet hatreds.

Interesting argument Parson and I get the point. You could extend it to many things; one man's meat...etc. I know who I think the 'elite' are. They are those who get on in the world through accident of birth or privilege. The 'ordinary' people are born without privelege and have no hope of obtaining what the 'elite' have. Cameron is of the 'elite' but doesn't think he is because he has no idea of 'ordinary' life. He resigned because he couldn't get his head round the 'peasants' revolting by not voting as he had ordered. I'm glad he went. Only a matter of time before he actually said 'let them eat cake'

I was actually thinking of that comparison the other day. Marie Antoinette 'let them eat bread' wasn't actually a quip, but her understanding of the world. If the peasants didn't have bread, then why didn't they just eat cake, as she would have. Cameron is of that ilk. No idea.
