I Found An Interesting Article

'Luxury beliefs', a great concept in a great article explaining how our 'elites' (it really hurts to use that word with today's stupid wealthy and influential people) show off their status by means of moral superiority.

Yes I hate those people calling themselves elites too, they are stupid and it s so stupid. The world is unfair because you can call yourself whatever unjustified if you are wealthy, influential based on your wealth, and wealthy wannabes.

@Sssslm I miss the times when elites were the strongest, wisest, most courageous, not wealthy conceited pricks that have become influential because media parrot the crap they say, and sheep believe them.

Was there ever a time like this?

Cierzo · M

@Sssslm I think in ancient times it was like that.

@Cierzo if you read the Bible you can get a glimpse of how people behaved in the ancient times. So many bad guys already existed then 😏
