No matter what time in history, no matter what part of the world and no matter the culture, elites are as they are today.
That is what led to the killing of the Russian royal family and birth of Leninism/communism, the French revolution and played a part in the American Revolution.
After England was almost destroyed during WWII by German bombing, when the war ended, the aristocrats climbed right back into their aristocratic perches and started ruling their subjects as if nothing happened.
Looking at the 10 plagues that God hit Egypt with to get them to let the Jews go. The only time the elites changed was the “plague of the 1st born.” Nothing chances with them until they have skin in the game and feel pain.
I think the first half of the 20th century was a lot more scary than it is today.........

Judge?
No, I accepted what he offered of himself as true.
It was amazingly similar to the parable.
I thought that he might like to know. I hope its not a perfect parallel.

Yes judge. Also you tend to hallucinate. What I said bore no resemblance at all to the parable. But you’ve never let truth and facts stop you from insulting people in the past.
