Ed Miliband's victory: will it bring about change we can believe in? | 92 comments (92 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

... so you have people who believe that the richest actually deserve to be rich while the rest deserve to be poor.

WOW! Truly the mentality of a slave class.

They tried to assimilate me. They failed.

Yes indeedy.

Why do you think Nietzsche went on (and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on) about Master and Slave Morality? The necessary first step to get out from under the Landlords (Aristocracy) or the Bosses (plutocrats) is to privilege oneself as worthy and, therefore, refuse to be dominated psychologically and intellectually.

Re: Question (none / 1)

Well they have a folk memory of 45 generations of a single family mostly being in some form of charge, so more background noise than slave mentality

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Re: Question (4.00 / 5)

This only goes to show how superior the British political system is over the US system. You dudes (and dudettes) have an automatic supply and re-supply of in-bred ignorant brain-damaged toffs for the House of Lords. WE have to go out and find 'em for the US Senate, at great effort and expense, too! (I may add.)

Re: Question (none / 1)

I didn't know there was a Brit version of the Boone and Crockett hunting guide.

Or do you still run the classic

competitions?

Nope.

Re: Question (none / 0)

Sounds like the excuse of the idiot to me. My lineage is abject poverty but I have the good sense to tell the wealthy to go fuck themselves.
