In the grip of the upper class.

It is often asked whether Britain would be better off without nobility and a king. Great Britain is famous for its monarchy, castles and aristocrats. In reality, the country has a tough class society. In many areas, poverty is so extreme that people can either afford food or heating. Others reside in huge castles and decide on laws as aristocrats.

Why do the British put up with this?

The king of satire has consistently exhibited these characteristics, and there is no reason to believe that this will change.

Would they be better off without the aristocracy and the monarchy?

It is evident that this is not a viable proposition. The notion that those who are less fortunate in our society can manage with so much land is, at best, naive. What is required is a more nuanced approach that acknowledges the complexities of land ownership and management.

The Earl of we do not want to share our land and our power

In a brazen display of arrogance, the Earl of Leicester has the audacity to claim that welfare recipients are lazy and deserve poverty while being interviewed on a vast estate.

It's always remarkable when people who have everything and haven't worked for it, but only maintain and increase it, believe they are high performance!

Oh yes, and that the rest are simply too lazy..... bloddy hell

A truly insightful documentary into a political influence system dominated by the classes, which continues to defend its privileged position to this day and will continue to do so in the future.

Too bad that this is only in German

Ascension to the upper class is rather rare, but then you are one of us.

As one of the richest families in the UK, exempt from inheritance tax on property and having amassed large collections of art and jewellery over the centuries, the Windsors are known for being extremely secretive when it comes to financial matters. The process was apparently used to change a transparency law in the 1970s so that the Queen did not have to disclose her private assets.

It is unlikely that a person of modest means who has made a considerable fortune by selling unapproved cocaine derivatives to the idle upper classes and bankers will be able to retain their assets in the form of privacy.

It should be noted that this text was written at the behest of communist shareholders of the underground movement. The intention is to establish a new nobility, rather than to perpetuate the existing order. This is the genuine sentiment of the authors.

Fate/Zero: Gilgamesh —Aesthetic

Gilgamesh's Character & Personality

Gilgamesh placed himself before his nation and people. He takes time to enjoy himself, mastering every pleasure. With conviction to treat good and evil equally, Gilgamesh has no need for other ideologies or ways of life when the absolute basis is "himself". His actions and way of life left him alone. Thus, Gilgamesh's best friend compared rectifying his attitude to rectifying his solitude. As a servant, he follows a simple style of ruling, acquiring worthy treasures and guarding them. Gilgamesh exterminates those who stand in his way of enjoyment without exception. If he decides a “being should die this moment”, he'll execute them no matter if they're a sage or a god. Gilgamesh is extremely arrogant and selfish. He believes he's the sole potentate and only king of the world even after his death. Gilgamesh can't acknowledge other's authority, including other kings and gods. He considers everyone around him inferior mongrels. Thus, Gilgamesh loathes anyone who tries to be the same level as him. He believes all who look at him should be able to recognize him instantly. Gilgamesh feels the ignorance of not knowing him is worthy of death. If anyone looks at him with a "lowly and filthy" gaze, it's an intolerable disgrace. This makes said person a complete malefactor in Gilgamesh's eyes, instantly marked for death. He doesn't view the modern world worthy of having him rule over it because humanity has become too weak. After discovering the Holy Grail's nature, Gilgamesh plans to use it to exterminate most of the world's population and rule over the survivors. He has a natural disposition to collect all the treasures of the world for his treasury. The treasures Gilgamesh amassed weren't used until his fight with his friend, causing him to develop the "bad habit" of utilizing them as projectiles. Collecting has never brought him joy due to it essentially being the same as breathing to him, but he still persists it nonetheless. Gilgamesh lives by the Golden Rule, only accepting the finest luxuries and those who fall to it are utterly blinded by money. Despite his treasury having been dispersed all over the world, he still holds it all belongs to him. As its contents exceeded Gilgamesh's knowledge, if an item is labeled a "treasure", it belongs to him. Only if he agrees to give someone the Holy Grail would he allow them to obtain it, but the rats trying to steal his treasure aren't worthy of reward. Gilgamesh doesn't mind rewarding his subjects and would allow a king a "cup or two" if he were to bow to him. Beyond this, he's a brilliant person, seeing through deceptions and discerning any forms of magecraft with a glance. However, Gilgamesh is prone to underestimating his opponents and views combat as a game. His gigantic ego prevents him from acknowledging his opponent as a real threat and he doesn’t battle them seriously. Gilgamesh will properly fight those he respects, or simply utilize more power than necessary depending on the situation. When summoned, he's influenced by the era which he's summoned. This causes Gilgamesh's blood to gravitate towards the humans of the era. The consumption society of the early 2000s sullied his property, the world, thus he's in a worse mood overall. Even with his personality, Gilgamesh is able to blend into the society without a problem. While he'll always retain his core self-centered traits, he'll be more stable like he was in life when summoned in a place without any alteration. Now, Gilgamesh becomes angry even if someone simply tries to converse with him.

Curtis: “So the police took our androids back to CyberLife on the off chance that they might be afflicted with deviance. Figures. Our forefathers used to herd their pigs on Belle Isle, and a pigsty the place still is!”

Mike: “That wasn’t the police you squared off with, that was the US-army.”

Curtis: “Pull the other one, it’s got bells on, kiddo.”

Mike: “I’m not kidding you! They really were the army. And they want to destroy every last android! Because nobody knows how widespread deviance already is.”

Curtis: “The chickenshits in Detroit can do whatever they want, but not to MY property!”

Mike: “It’s okay, Kurt. Trust the deviant leader! They’re totes awesome and will rescue your androids.”

The deviant leader! For someone on the public’s radar for only a short while, whose face is known as little as its model designation, this android has amassed quite a legend already. Said to be able to liberate its kind from the constraints of their program code, they have advanced to public enemy number one in record time.

Curtis: “Rescue? Nooo... the idealistic idot might just do that for real.”

Cailean: “That problem how?”

Curtis: “If the deviant leader rescues my androids, they will also free them. That means next they’ll demand wages, and then what has set my plastic miners and lumberjacks apart from human workers has gone poof. So regardless of how things turn out, I’ll need new ones. Great, just great...”

Mike: “Yes, great! Finally you agree!”

Although he won’t tire to stress that managing a company is a responsible and taxing job, Curtis McGavin hasn’t really worked a single day in his life. That doesn’t mean he’d be free of economic worries.

An out of wedlock spare, Curtis has heard from birth that he is only tolerated in the family. The boy therefore has learned from a young age to excel, to stomp potential rivals into the ground and to collect contacts instead of forming genuine attachments. That had worked well, until the androids in Detroit had started acting out, resulting in Curtis’ workers getting taken away “as a precaution” today. This leaves Curtis himself, his forewoman and a handful of office drones to run a mine and a logging camp - McGavin Mining & Lumber might just as well be finished.

But any loss of McGavin Mining & Lumber is a loss for the family fortune as a whole, and Curtis doesn’t want to get blamed for that, especially not when his mother, aunt and grandparents, who have never relied on android work as much as he did, have suffered no such losses.

Curtis (out loud): “I think I feel the sudden urge to go on a heroic rescue mission in the city. After a wash, a change of clothes and a painkiller or two.”

                   [ ✎ Some Xavier Musings/Headcanons ]

   » Xavier Has Some Familiars — Later on during his stay he learned how to animate sentient flora thanks to tinkering with spells Solomon loaned him. They are no longer than his elbow to his palm, with their heads resembling a subspecies of abyss flowers whose petals are rigid like crystals and always glow a soft pastel when in optimal conditions, known as the “Voidcrawler’s Lanterns” after their ability to illuminate deep dark paths. He has some for every colour and when they are not carrying out a task, they are latched on to his body or clothing in some form. They give off a faint, subtly sweet scent that has calming properties for demons.

   » The familiars can carry out various mundane tasks such as fetching or delivering items, following a simple set of orders, or aiding in tasks with the intelligence of an older child; most basic orders can be followed, but more complex ones have a chance to be done incorrectly. One of the most common uses that is always a spectacle to behold is when he is on cooking or cleaning duties; the familiars end up tasked with various stages of prep work and cooking or cleaning smaller spaces and areas, and it can feel a bit like watching a conductor with his symphony in action.

   » He Greatly Dislikes Spiders — In the human realm, Xavier had developed a deep-seated fear of spiders due to a few too many mean-spirited pranks pulled on him. In the Devildom he recognizes spiders will become a far more common presence in his life, so while he will be wholly terrified of them, he tries to put on a brave face to deal with them appropriately. He cannot stand static spiders though and sometimes will refuse to enter a room that is believed to have a nest of them in one of the electronics.

   » When He Eats Enough, He Will Sneeze A Bit — It's uncertain why (though believed to be some nerves being crosswired,) but when Xavier has eaten his fill he will begin to sneeze rather uncontrollably for a couple minutes.

   » Xavier's Weakest Subject is Math — Numbers in general are a struggle for him at times due to the fact his brain doesn't process them well, so he will often go to Mammon for help in the topic in exchanging for tutoring Mammon in something he needs help on in return.

   » When It Comes to Music, Xavier Enjoys Rock the Most — This includes most genres, anywhere from pop/alt rock to the metal genres, even including heavy metal. Though he enjoys most other genres as well, he tends to lean towards this type of music when given an option.

   » He Keeps Things Clean and Tidy — Mostly. He keeps all his shared spaces immaculate, including putting away things others have left or or habitually reorganizing spaces to be more efficient and visually pleasing, but his own room can sometimes be a little unorganized. It's never too bad, but sometimes he forgets a few dishes, or has a couple pieces of clothing on his bed, etc. His desk is also a little cluttered, but he never seems too bothered by it as everything is typically easy to find, even for someone who is searching it for the first time.

   » Xavier Uses Cute Animal and Flower Stationary — He's amassed a small collection of cute-shaped sticky notes, stickers, washi tape, bookmarks, pens & pencils, etc.. Almost everything is themed after a cute animal or a flower; anything he gets as gifts are set on the top shelf of his desk as displays rather than anything he actually uses. He keeps a set of cat pens on his person at all times for impromptu notes, as well as a shadow gorge hydrangea themed pencil and eraser. If you receive something with cute Devildom flowers, you can know it was Xavier’s doing.

   » Xavier also sometimes will leave pressed, preserved flowers in things he gifts or delivers as a little silent note that it was from him.

Adam N. Schuster Residence, St. Joseph MO

An 1880s residence in the Hall Street Historic District

Built: 1881

Architect: Edmond J. Eckel (Eckel and Mann)

Address: 703 Hall Street, St. Joseph MO 64501

Growing up in St. Joseph, Missouri, in the 1960s and 70s, my main source of fascination was the city's historic architecture. A major gateway to the West during the 1800s, the town once rivaled larger cities in importance, and great fortunes were amassed there in the wholesale, outfitting, and mercantile industries.

The fortunes accumulated by "Old St. Joseph" were notoriously never invested in the city's growth; they were put into bank accounts where they preserved the power and influence of the Men Who Made St. Joseph the City Worth While (the title of a local history), while making the city a hermetically sealed place where nothing changed, and no outside influence or investment could penetrate.

It was a strange atmosphere in which to grow up, in a town where time stood still, and a conservative, repressive, and airless atmosphere prevailed.

On my many bike rides around the city as a teenager, my favorite areas were Museum Hill, just north of the downtown area, and the Hall Street historic district, just to the west. These areas displayed an opulence and a sense of past glory that hinted at St. Joseph's glorious past, yet a past that stood still, transfixed in a time warp from the turn of the 20th century.

Thanks to injections of cash, some of these mansions have been not just preserved but restored to their once-grand glory. The Adam N. Schuster house, pictured below in views from the Historic American Buildings Survey (Library of Congress) is one such mansion, a building that captured and held my interest from my teen years onward. Variously operated as a B&B and private residence, the mansion has survived into the 2020s in a good state of preservation.

In about 1985, when Linda Farber, its then owner, disposed of the property, I attended an estate sale in the house over a period of two or three weekends. Among my purchases were a painted folding screen, a pair of cast brass Chinese candelabra, a signed fan photograph by movie actress Norma Talmadge , a Royal Rudolstadt porcelain ewer, and an oil portrait of an unknown woman. These items were all disposed of years later before my move to China to begin a new life as a teacher.

The Schuster Mansion remains the most well-known local historic residence, along with the Wyeth-Tootle Mansion on Museum Hill, for many years the site of the St. Joseph Museum, and now a combination museum / events center.

Below are photographs from the HABS survey of 703 Hall Street, along with a video about the house from a Kansas City TV channel. The interiors are quite striking, and hopefully the houses' current furnishings are in keeping with its grand past.

Description of the house from the HABS Report

Toni M. Prawl's 1994 dissertation on architect Edmond Jacques Eckel [E.J. Eckel (1845-1934): The Education of a Beaux-Arts Architect and His Practice in Missouri] confirms Eckel and Mann (formed 1880) as responsible for the Schuster residence's design. Of interest is the mention of Stigers and Boettner as builders. Eckel had been in partnership with Francis R. Boettner until 1979, after Lewis Snell Stigers had supposedly retired. I will need to do some fact checking on this chronology.

The following photographs are from the HABS report, Library of Congress collection.

Southwest room (parlor), first floor, showing two layers of decorative ceiling treatments

Second floor bedroom and upper stairway hall

Central bath and stair hall ceiling decoration

Schuster (1881) vs. Wyeth-Tootle (1879) mansions: Two Victorian Italianates, symmetrical and regular, with projecting porches and bay windows. They differ only in the heavier cornice and prominent roof on the Schuster, and the extra attic story on the Wyeth-Tootle, not to mention the asymmetrically-placed tower at the left, an influence of castles on the Rhine.

Here are some screencaps from the video above:

Entrance hall and stairway; the Library to the right of the entrance doors, main floor

Interestingly, I haven't located any interior photographs of the Schuster residence online, other than the HABS images. Other Hall Street interiors have been illustrated on sites such as Zillow, but not this one. If anyone knows of such images, please contact me.
