If it's said for shock value or in attempt to keep an individual as a friend with someone then is it still aristocratic?
just wondering.
i'm an SF and my emotional and physical reactions towards people are usually determined by how beautiful and gentle the person is and the internal sensations i have from them (although i'm misanthropic at times). i do make or subscribe to generalizations sometimes and i'm imprecise in expression, but i just enjoy categorizing everything sometimes. i did make racist comments to my friend just to try to impress him to make relations with him better, to please him. i made racist comments to someone just because i wanted to fight him.
i never understood the mass arab hysteria back in 2001 through today; i never thought terrorist=arab.
i don't really think of myself as belonging to any group but rather as a stupid, ugly person really (i've never had much of a sense of group identity).
so anyway, why don't we think of all the ways in which aristocracy and democracy is understood/misunderstood and where each applies when it may not be obvious?
i've always been more democratic than aristocratic as i wasn't really able to completely conclude on my own what group a person belonged to anyway.
