British social class, test

Magsj is Wakandan royalty. Dey be queenz and kangz mayne

Lololol

The test was for British social class, but you obviously chose to ignore that, for the sake of comedy value… at my expense.

Caribbeans are into the film, but not the whole Wakanda! thing, like your African-Americans seem to be. :wink: They even gave the whole Black Lives Matter thing a go… for one day/one march only, but it didn’t take off beyond that… when they realised that they weren’t a suppressed black nation. :laughing:

…and no more trolling from you.

Class is a more flexible concept compared to more rigid descriptors such as gender and race and nationality
This is why it never shows up on any diversity questionnaires although if it is that important then it ought to

I do not define myself by class as such but if I am required to I would say that I am definitely lower class and always will be too
Absolutely every thing about me is that other than the fact I am a serious reader which is a predominantly middle class activity

I think the two most sophisticated supermarkets are Marks and Spencers and Sainsburys
Then Waitrose and Tesco and Asda and Morrisons and finally Aldi and Lidl at the bottom

I think Mags is a sophisticated individual with excellent standards who wants to better herself even more
Her questionnaire was very accurate and I wish her all the best in climbing the social ladder even higher

I think the North/South divide has replaced the class system, which seems to be much more palatable for today’s modern British climate, but which comes with its own set of arguments… especially in Politics and Manufacturing, for example: talk of moving Parliament permanently up North.

:laughing:

I am not looking for and neither did I ask for, anyone’s approval or commentary on me, but to discuss the issue in a broader view as I have done so above. ^^^

No-one likes being stifled and their shine dulled… which people cannot help but do, so putting one’s mindset out of the hive mind will allow it not to happen, whether that be classified as the class system or not.

I think I simply find the whole thing fascinating… an outsider looking in, but yet involuntarily participating by nomination and curiosity and default. The polemic posturing of Thanethots et al is based on nothing but their desire to ridicule, rather than delve deeper into the topic.

I recently had an interesting thought on this:

Formal education is the institutional body of modern religion, each completed stage a sacrament. So Kinder Garden is like baptism, elementary school is like the first communion, high school is like the confirmation, college/undergrad university is being ordained as a priest, one enters the priestly class that herds the flock, graduate studies are for higher priest occupations like cardinal or bishop, post grad and doctoral studies are like becoming a monk or entering the very highest rung of priesthood where doctrine is decided upon.

There is no coincidence that the sacraments coincide with the respective pivotal school years… having been through both systems, we were made to be aware of and made to be prepared for, each upcoming stage and sacrament.

We all also noticed the atheist schools’ lack of boundaries, focus, common sense, and many other aspects that they were lacking in.

What matters was the diploma!

…gained through a full school curriculum of current knowledge and field trips? the path being just as important as the diploma itself… though learning doesn’t have to be school-based.

Is there such a thing as just knowledge? Or is it always biased? The diploma is proof that you are capable of at least imitating the bias. That’s why it’s religious.

I’m not against bias. I’m against bias that pretends not to exist.

Or like Patton said:

I know I’m a primadonna. I admit it. What kills me about Montgomery is that he won’t.

That makes sense.
When God was still alive education actually had content.
After Communism education has been mostly neutralisation.

Yes. I am the most arrogant man alive, it comes with the job of prescribing law for the whole of mankind.
I dont do this out of modesty.

I got upper class.

Sharp test.

For you who want to move up the standard: black tea with sugar, full English breakfast. No fancy brunches, tradition. Bacon and sausage.

Brilliantly, I took the test over a plate of English breakfast and a black tea with sugar.

Beyond that, of course the Alps and the German Shepherd.

What isn’t ever bias?

If we all stopped to think about bias, we’d become a planet of non-achievers, and there’d be zero progress… or very little, but then this begs the question… to what extent should bias be utilised, without being at the expense of others, so as not to cause war enslavement etc. etc. etc?

When you are ready to respond to the below, I am all ears…

Class is all about honesty and transparency at once, to one"s self and to others.

The person who can de temporalize a change of class by facade is in bad faith, but simultaneously can gain the keys to salvation. That process can take a very long time, albeit can be achieved during one lifetime, if belief in reincarnation is sustained.

It is fear, of the outward look imposed from outside, that cracks the mirror of self apprehension , and not some dread emulating from the inside. That is what invariably sets the stage for a fall, whether it be of one’s derivation to a personal dramatic myth of it, or the discovered irony of it on the grand scale of theatre. The cave of the earliest being holds its grip to this shadow world, because transformations only wirk nowadays by quick costume change. To be truly real, fear will dissipate with time with letting go of all props, and letting the conflicting classes brand the middle way as opportunistic.

And that confirms the true way to deliverance. This, the highest learning, has to occur inside out.

Whatever happened to the days when tea with milk was de rigeur…? I miss a tea with milk, but when needs must.

There are different algorithms, that generate the same result, so the result generated is not really dependent on any one specific answer.

Btw Fixed… apparently Labour have been hijacked by the posh/Upper class set, here, but have Labour really ever been run by the working class?
