@0:28. Yeah no, that's 100% snobbery. Looking down at someone who wasn't raised like you or lives like you especially due to their family or lack of wealth is snobbery. 😅
30 acres was a considerable holding in ireland at the time when over 1 millon people lived of of one acre and no pay ( they worked the estates in lieu of rent )
Lord Saint Germans: "I can just behave like the pig that I am ..I can just do whatever I like ( and as you know I like to do nothing) but I can do it really sloppy if I want to " sounds pretty awesome 😎 to me.
Aritocracy if based on Meritocracy is a bad omen for a society? How could that be possible if you have read Nietzsche and understood moral complexity using virgin eyes? Of course, suppressing the poor people or taking their legal, political, social and economic rights away using unfair and unjust means is most condemnable, but, one has to settle this debate among the superior and the inferior segments that coexist in a society. Remember the vintage Adage -> "Some always get better than others" This is an acknowledgement of the Aristocratic system in a different tone.
Could you imagine the guilt Lady Wolseley had and must have about it being her idea to start the project that bankrupted a 1000 year old dynasty....and to be American as well.
Over 800 million dollars left America to prop up the aristocrats. Imagine what America would be if that would have been invested into American families and businesses.
These aristocraps should be satisfied that they weren't all executed or exiled. Leeches left over from the Dark Ages and the Norman Conquest. Good riddance.
9:55 Lord Hertford bought the car instead of reducing his overdraft. I love that aristocratic sense of humour. I’m sure His Lordship was wonderful company, I would have liked to have a brandy with him.
The Italian Aristocracy does not have the exact rules as the English/U.K. Aristocracy, there are some differences. Yes, I do have paternal relatives in Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England who are part of U.K. Aristocracy. I am from, by YDNA, the Italian Gerardi nobility family of Venice and Naples kingdoms. These DNA connections were done during the Catholic majority era.
Interesting that the Marchioness of Londonderry could not stand 'bad manners' (10:03) yet was 'a very frightening woman'' (11:44), which is, of course, the height of bad manners.
