You check and you'll find out they all probably went to the same schools.....at a minimum

Maybe not bloodlines but there is a bit of " inbreeding". Same schools, close relationships, etc
Absolutely. And they are also taught what you can say and what you cannot say because they are raised with people who edit their language the exact same way.

Even in all these scenarios... this was simply one elite group replacing the other. There are no "organic" uprisings as you would be lead to believe. The Bolsheviks are a great example of this, as well as Nazis, even the American Civil War was just elites vs elites... using poor farmers as cannon fodder.

It's the real Golden Rule: those who have the gold, make the rules.

I would imagine it’s very lonely at the top.

Basically the idea that all governments and societies are ultimately controlled by a small minority... and true populism or a democracy is not realistic
If this is true then why did the small minority, that supposedly controlled America, agree to sharing so much of the pie that the American workers got cars, TVs, air conditioners and homes?

We can't define "blue blood" for sports. I would love to see the Elite try to define themselves.

The crazy part is we probably will never know who is truly at the top. But someone definitely is.

Wouldnt one of the answers be Roosevelt New Deal tax policies and the post war economic boom. I'm sure there are a lot of factors.

Not necessarily directly involved, but yes... I think they are indirectly doing shite.

Do you think the " moral" elites would/will treat Americans any different in a hypothetical future conflict or revolution than the "wicked" elite?
