Twenty-First Century (Comment about Contemporary Social Prestige and Social Order)

“Working class non-employees can drive a hard bargain – but they (are forced by the Rule of Lawyers erroneously called Rule of Law) to give value in return; only a college-indoctrinated, credentialed professional could expect to get something for nothing.”

Twentieth Century (Comment about Contemporary Social Prestige and Social Order)

“The Jew drives a hard bargain, but he does give value in return; only a Gentile (sic Christian) can expect to get something for nothing.”

PS. Was it really Voltaire who originally said: “Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose (i.e. the more things change, the more they stay the same.)?

He was far and away the wittiest modern French writer – having to live most of his productive adult life in England so that High-Status ‘Aristocrats’ could not continue sending hired thugs to ‘beat the shit out of him again’ because they were insulted by the ridicule.  I’ll bet you did not know that!

PPS.  If the disparity of Social Prestige between the two disputant roles is large enough, the mere adamantine demand of the more Socially Prestigious disputant must be submitted to without any necessary procedures or protocols!
