    Why the French Revolution was the ultimate cause of our problems

    The issue with the OP society is that any elite class is crystalised as ruling forever and would be almost impossible to remove. I'm sure many on the far left want something similar except with their chosen few in charge. The elites who sit above laws now are very often a blight but they are...

    Why the French Revolution was the ultimate cause of our problems

    Exactly so, these groups claiming to push equality are no different to Stalinists saying all are the same while they sit in their mansions and the Kulaks starve to death. What they have done is fool people into attacking the system when the system itself is fine. The laws are good, the ideas of...

    Why the French Revolution was the ultimate cause of our problems

    It was refuted on page one :) You speak against equality, but every example you have given has been an example of inequality. WOmen in divorce courts seeking child custody, hiring practices of companies that need diversity boxes ticked, leniency in law to certain people, uneven application of...

    Why the French Revolution was the ultimate cause of our problems

    Yeah, to me this is the issue in both scenarios. They want to change what exists today, but they want to do so in a way that gives them power without earning it, and which punishes those they hate. That to me is the very definition of a failed system, power not because you earn it but because it...

    Why the French Revolution was the ultimate cause of our problems

    They absolutely want you to kneel, many of them do, and they are lesser men because of it. I'm British but I don't kneel to royalty. I'd offer a bow to the Queen because I respect her personally, but I don't kneel. You can't be a man if you aren't upright :) But by that same token I want no one...

    Why the French Revolution was the ultimate cause of our problems

    Thing is fat can be fixed, badly educated can be fixed, attitudes can be fixed. If you have the power to reshape society why bother enacting feudalism and a slave class when instead you can fix the perceived issues through better education and vigilance? You basically have an even worse society...

    Why the French Revolution was the ultimate cause of our problems

    My question would be why? If they are in that class due to belief, that isn't hereditary. Within one generation they would all qualify for at least middle class. If your system is based on rewarding/punishing people for how they live, and these people are no longer living lives worthy of...

    Why the French Revolution was the ultimate cause of our problems

    mainly because with these types of generational societies it is assumed that whatever makes you inferior/superior is passed on parent to child. But if it is something like belief or learned behaviour that isn't something passed on, you can alter it through education/propaganda/indoctrination...

    Why the French Revolution was the ultimate cause of our problems

    Quite fascinating. My question would be who makes the rules? I mean yeah, aristocracy, but I mean who sets the bar and makes the choices? Who gets to decide where the line is and who meets it? Assuming this happens say January before genetics and stuff can be used as a guide.

    Why the French Revolution was the ultimate cause of our problems

    how would you envision the different class roles and privileges in such a society? By that I mean are there many levels, do people have the ability to change class, what are the criteria, stuff like that. I'm a writer, I do a lot of world building so these things interest me

    Why the French Revolution was the ultimate cause of our problems

    What happens to those deemed inferior? How would any edicts be enforced?

    Why the French Revolution was the ultimate cause of our problems

    I agree that is a bad thing. I support women having the vote, being able to work in jobs if they have the capability (without any bending of the rules) though I do think society needs good mothers more than career workers. sadly these freedoms, indeed most freedoms also require responsibility...

    Why the French Revolution was the ultimate cause of our problems

    Nothing wrong with fraternity, the bible is always calling us brothers and extolling us to just get along. It's a concept as old as time trying to bring about cooperation instead of combat. It is a well picked term really, you may not always like your brother, may even angrily disagree more than...
