You are a liar, considering your entry into this very thread is spouting a principle of Alensky.
Literally nobody believes your posturing bullshit.
I've never read Alensky. A fucking ten-year-old can see that rich people act more politely than poor people. In every society. Everywhere. You don't need a Russian scholar to tell you what you can see with your own eyes.
It's actually more damning that you're claiming to have independently arrived at the same location as one of the more notorious antifa terrorists of all time.
You’re so concerned with being super smart and better than everyone that you forgot a basic principle: correlation does not necessarily mean causation.
Wealthier people act more politely (not even quantifiable but I’m conceding that for the sake of argument) because wealthy people tend to get wealthy because they are better at long term thinking and impulse control in the first place. In other words, higher in IQ generally. This also leads to their general ability to see the utility in social cohesion.
Yeah, that just isn't true. It might feel true if you don't have any grasp on history, but if you want to go back a few centuries and claim that the British monarchy were simply genetically superior people to the British working class, with higher IQs and a greater capacity for rational thought - well, you'd just be wrong.
Those people were genetically indistiguishable. And yet, as always, the rich used politeness as a tool of power. Because they didn't have any need for violence - they could order other people to do that for them. They didn't have any need to yell and raise their voice - they could get whatever they wanted by gesturing to a henchman.
So they put on a mask of politeness to assert the idea that they deserved all the absolute power that they had. They wanted people to think they were genetically superior and higher-IQ (not that anyone had invented IQ yet).
They weren't, though. With a little historical distance, it's easy to see that they were every bit as much the smelly dipshits that their subjects were.
And it's not just the historical British monarchy. It's all of human history.
And look, another literally Marxist principle magically slips out of your mouth.
The idea that success is attributable only to random chance and perfidy. Anyone who has more stuff and/or behaves better than the shit kicking proles is a villain?
Try again, commie.
