The parasites of yore were at least properly educated. They knew the subtle arts of persuasion, how to use limited hangouts, how to obfuscate certain truths and bring others to the fore. They studied history and the classics. They understood propaganda and psychology. They actually knew the political theory of their ideology. There were plenty of evil people amongst them, 100% of them were self-interested, but there was at least some coherence and talent and brains to what they did.

The current parasite class are mostly just retarded. They think they have rhetoric but they don’t, and there is not an iota of charisma amongst them. The old antiques dealers in the China shop have been replaced by bulls and they wonder why they’ve lost control - sure we all have access to a lot more information, but they’re not just stealing valuables, they’re trying to destroy everything too.

They’re all just incredibly pathetic.

I’ve been around plenty of this crop of Aussie elites and not once felt awed or that I was in the presence of genuine intelligence. I see plenty of that in the private sector, plenty of real gravitas and people who you’d pay to listen to but there are very few amongst the parasites of today who could stand amongst previous generations and not be humiliated out of the room.
