I never get tired of reading this stuff. They were so arrogant, so sure... It’s as much fun as watching the talking heads explode the night of the election!

but the fact remained that this was a predatory state which the Czar and a small group of noblemen and bureaucrats ruled for their own exclusive benefit...The ruling group owned all the wealth, enjoyed all the privileges and monopolized all the political power, and it did not intend to give up any of its prerogatives. It considered the peasants to be little better than animals..."
The level of hubris is unbelievable. And yet they say Trump is conceited!
