Why are the Elites Always Parasites?

[Deleted member 30402]

Throughout all of human history, the elites have always behaved like parasites and have ruled through subjugation, deception, and coercion. There were kings, royals and leaders who were more nationalist and libertarian, but they served the common man more than the elite man. (Caesar, Napoleon, Hitler, Trump, etc.) so they aren’t truly “elites”. Why do elites behave like this? Is this style of rule more oriented towards control?

Not always. Napoleon brought France to heights it hasn’t reached since. Also the founding fathers set a good precedent for the peaceful transfer of power in the US.

The American founding fathers were some of the greatest men in history. They would rope if they could see what their country has become today.

America could be a lot better. However, George Washington laid the foundation for peaceful transfers of power through his voluntary abdication. America would be similar to France or Germany, failed democracies with the threat of civil war and authoritarianism always looming over it’s citizens.

It was the land of the free until the federal reserve, 60s counter culture, police state, mass media campaigns. AKA Jews

What do you foresee happening to countries like France and Germany in the future?

It depends. If they stay within the American sphere of influence they will follow America in being subverted culturally and undermining liberal principles in the name of progressive ideology. If they leave the American sphere of influence I don’t know what direction they will go in.

Hopefully it just erupts into war and genocide. Things are too boring atm.

This prediction also depends on what direction America goes. Which is undecided at the moment.

Europe should leave American bubble. They are adopting all of these progressive ideologies that are destroying their countries. They should also do away with the EU because the EU sets too much cucked policy. They should adopt something like the EFTA that Switzerland and Norway have. That way you have freedom of movement throughout Europe without all of the cucked progressivism that the EU tries to force on its member states.

whites elites had a concept called noblesse oblige before jews took over and became the oligarchy

Noblesse oblige (/noʊˌblɛs əˈbliːʒ/; French: [nɔblɛs ɔbliʒ] i; literally “nobility obliges”) is a French expression that retains in English the meaning that nobility extends beyond mere entitlement, requiring people who hold such status to fulfill social responsibilities. For example, a primary obligation of a nobleman could include generosity towards those around him. As those who lived on the nobles' land had obligations to the nobility, the nobility had obligations to their people, including protection at the least.[1]

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the term suggests "noble ancestry constrains to honourable behaviour; privilege entails responsibility." The Dictionnaire de l'Académie française defines it thus:

1. Whoever claims to be noble must conduct himself nobly.
2. (Figuratively) One must act in a fashion that conforms to one's position and privileges with which one has been born, bestowed and/or has earned.

OED and others cite the source of the phrase as Maxims (1808) by Pierre Marc Gaston de Lévis, Duke of Lévis.[2][3][4]

Meaning and variants[edit]​

Noblesse oblige is generally used to imply that wealth, power, and prestige come with responsibilities. In ethical discussion, the term is sometimes[citation needed] used to summarize a moral economy wherein privilege must be balanced by duty towards those who lack such privilege or who cannot perform such duty. Recently, it has been used to refer to public responsibilities of the rich, famous and powerful, notably to provide good examples of behaviour or exceed minimal standards of decency. It has also been used to describe a person taking the blame for something in order to solve an issue or save someone else.

An early instance of this concept in literature may be found in Homer's Iliad. In Book XII, the hero Sarpedon delivers a speech in which he urges his comrade Glaucus to fight with him in the front ranks of battle. In Pope's translation, Sarpedon exhorts Glaucus thus:

'Tis ours, the dignity they give to grace
The first in valour, as the first in place;
That when with wondering eyes our confidential bands
Behold our deeds transcending our commands,
Such, they may cry, deserve the sovereign state,
Whom those that envy dare not imitate!

In Luke 12:48[5] Jesus is saying: "Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more."

In Le Lys dans la Vallée, written in 1835 and published in 1836, Honoré de Balzac recommends certain standards of behaviour to a young man, concluding: "Everything I have just told you can be summarized by an old word: noblesse oblige!"[6] His advice included "others will respect you for detesting people who have done detestable things."

The phrase is carved into Bertram Goodhue's Los Angeles Public Library on a sculpture by Lee Lawrie as part of Hartley Burr Alexander's iconographic scheme for the building.[7][8]

In the song "The Life I Lead" from the 1964 Disney film Mary Poppins, the character Mr. Banks (played by David Tomlinson) uses the phrase: "I'm the lord of my castle! The sovereign! The liege! I treat my subjects, servants, children, wife, with a firm but gentle hand—noblesse oblige."

Critique[edit]​

Some critics have argued that noblesse oblige, while imposing on the nobility a duty to behave nobly, gives the aristocracy a justification for their privilege. Jurists Dias and Hohfeld have pointed out that rights and duties are jural corelatives,[9] which means that if someone has a right, someone else owes them a duty. Dias's reasoning was used in Murphy v Brentwood District Council (1991) to disapprove Lord Denning MR's judgment in Dutton v Bognor Regis Urban District Council (1972).

Not completely. I think NATO is still a decent idea. The EU should be abolished tho. Also these progressive ideas go beyond one country. They are just pathological ways of addressing innate human inequality.

NATO sounds nice in theory, but in practice, it’s basically a way for USA to militarily subdue European countries. That’s why this whole war in Ukraine has started. USA wants to use NATO to militarily pressure Russia.

You aren’t wrong. The only thing I would say is that European countries did choose to join NATO to avoid being swallowed up by the USSR.

Both the elites and leaders will genrally be scumbags because you need to become a leader or a elite.
