Are they surprised? I don't see much surprise, only silence. They do not care.
Bill de Blasio shut down Times Square on New Year's Eve to broadcast a private dance with his wife wearing a pedo mask. These people have nothing but contempt for the plebs.
I would say it's a coincidence since not all of the symbols in the pattern are triangles, but considering she wore it while flexing on the rabble by dancing in Time's Square after shutting it down, I wouldn't put it past them.
The worst part about having a corrupt government is seeing how cheaply they were bought. Congress makes decisions that shift trillions of dollars, and they're willing to put their thumbs on the scale for what, a few million? Add up the net worth of every shady politician in Washington - would we be better off just bribing these people directly from the treasury on behalf of the nation?
There were some obvious mistakes made, such as Charles II, but I doubt aristocrats with experience managing livestock were unable to effectively manage their own genetic heritage through arranged marriages.
If someone is richer, more powerful, and more successful than you, they logically have something on you. Are they more physically fit? More attractive? Luckier? It might be luckier, but relying on luck alone you tend to lose in the end. Smarter? Maybe a combination of luckier and smart enough.
They're certainly not morons, though. Morons lose their power all too quickly. The simplest solution is not incompetence at every single level of elite power, that assumes far too many conveniences and coincidences as to how they are still "elite" after being morons for life.
Did you account for the fact that they are all in a big club together and they collude together to ensure that they are the only ones who sit at the top?
Like George Carlin said.
Nepotism is mainly why the current elites are in their position.
A moron threatens the inner circle's long-term power.
Morons don't stay in a club for long. Nepotism is part of luck, luck of your birth, but idiocy ruins even that level of luck. Loose ends are trimmed off. If you assume they're morons just because you can handwave away their position with "nepotism", you'll be sorely disappointed when the truth comes to light. They are at least as smart as yourself, likely more, and to assume ignorance when malice is possible is exactly what they'd want you to do.
The more "educated" people are the more ignorant they are.
People stopped developing mentally at that infantile stage where you read an article or hear a factoid and you suddenly think you know everything and are smarter than those around you.
We used to just pat these children on the head, say good job and ignore them. These days these children run the asylum.
The most surprising thing is how many of the supposedly "smartest people in the room" are surprised by all this.
Our "elites" are morons.
These "elites" are utterly evil rather than just merely incompetent.

Genuine curiosity, what's the deal with the pedo mask? What does that mean?
The mask De Blasio was wearing carried a symbol associated with pedophilia in its pattern.
Thank you
Pedo symbols

The aristocracy are always morons. Remember that for hundreds of years they were fucking inbred too.
No need to be smart when a bunch of malicious assholes are willing to legitimize your rule through violence for a few crumbs.
These people would literally be nothing without a throng of compliant servants, but that tribal mentality to follow a chief runs strong.

The level of inbreeding in the aristocracy tells me otherwise.

You are misunderstanding my point.
I think they got their position via nepotism but they are entirely malicious in trying to keep it.
I don't think they are bumbling lucky fools like you assume my point to be.
I think they are evil assholes who are arrogant enough to do anything to keep their power.
