The Aristocratic Illusion, by Robert Gore
These last two years have revealed a simple truth: regardless of résumés, the aristocrats are nowhere near as bright as they think they are. For instance, the identity politics so many have fecklessly pushed completely undermines their own meritocracy myth.

Yes the aristocrats have been perpetuating a fraud
With the hypocritical actions they take. The truth is surfacing and being exposed. The establishment is in an Uncivil war with US. Trump is our commander in chief . The left is losing the war.
The Russiagate is backfiring because the truth prevails.

Trumps 13 are in the cross hairs and most are connected to Clinton or Obama or CIA.
Rep Gowdy resigned from the house ethics committee recently .I suspect it is to help prosecute Clinton and Comey and Lynch.
Things have been quiet about Bhengazi.
Much evil to uncover in Libya.
As for aristocrat A better description is Kakistocrat.A kakistocracy (English pronunciation: /kækɪsˈtɑkɹəsi/) is a system of government which is run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens.
Attack the cancer and remove, I hope it is in the cards.
Enjoyed seeing my favorite word again, my friend.
FYI, I wrote an article on the EO, "By Imperial Decree." The link:

True freedom on the other hand lies in recognizing the equality of all before the law and the recognition in difference of talents as an opportunity for trade rather than an excuse to seek power.
I think modern day aristocrats "still", hear the illusionary voices of the gods as Jaynes observed and never developed the true voice of self, otherwise,
the voice of self would nag them to death...no justifications I am aware of could stifle the tides of conscience.
Yes, it is an illusion. They assumed themselves intellectual but never proven by the observations of those truly, [inter]lectual. [integrated knowledge]
Awesome job... again.
They are not aware and never will be..............they "blank out" to maintain pseudo self-esteem"..............have seen this for real in too many, too often over too many years (which ended in 1992 with semi-retirement).
Not aware, not aware of their own behavior equals, no conscience, not conscious, not human in the same sense that those Conscious are.
They are ruled by ego...a false identity and moderated by an imitation conscience called a super ego...how else could they possible think what they do, believe what they do or do what they do.
They clearly lack the "I" and a conscious mind.
It's a defect, clear and simple.
The fantasy to hide the absence of actual self-esteem. As AR wrote, if ever faced, "...the next step is insanity of suicide."
That's why they don't like to be judged!
Jonah Goldberg's latest column, http://www.nationalreview.com/article... observes the Hollywood aristocracy and their belief in moral superiority as an example of a self-assumed elite.

The political elites think that belief in statism and collectivism coupled with their education and 'quick minds' entitles them to rule others. They don't start with a premise of legal robbery. The problem is the dominant intellectuals' beliefs in altruism, collectivism and statism, not whether they pretend to be brighter than average, which most of them are and which is why they rise to the positions they are in over others with the same increasingly popular premises.
Obama did not "become president because he was black" and Hillary was not "next in line because she was a woman". They exploited those identities for their sales pitch but they rose because they are intelligent and because of their ideas and ability to promote them; there were millions of other blacks and women who did not. Hillary was a top student in school and became valedictorian of her class at Wellesley College. Obama learned his oratorical golden tongue at a prestigious private high school in Hawaii and was highly regarded at Harvard Law School. Democrats supported both of them because of their knowledge of and ability to articulate Democrat principles in ways others could not, not because of a concept limited to legalized robbery.
The fact that the best educated and brightest are always a minority does not mean that the fall of their statism is inevitable in days that are "numbered". If their ideas continue to spread the days of civilization are "numbered", but the rulers will have more power over less. The days of those in that kind of power are "numbered" in the same way as those of medieval kings who were always threatened by each other.
Fix the dominant philosophical ideas and the consequences of that for education and we need not be concerned about the role of the "elites": The best and brightest should be in positions of leadership -- if they hold proper ideas and not the dominant progressivism and pragmatist philosophy of the last century that has come to define the current rule by bureaucratic elite everywhere we look.
