i cringe at the term 'elites'  ....  nothing like an allusion to create an
image to inflame the entitlement greed of the consumer class ...
the aspirational  hard done by but "we were promised we could rule the world
if we buy more than we can afford
and live your prescribed  dream" ...   a very good prescription for
maintaining the good old 'the richer get richer and the poor get poorer"

i am still gobsmaked about this

"On his radio show, Mr. Beck said he had not intended to choose the
anniversary for his “Restoring Honor” rally on Saturday but had since
decided it was “divine providence.”

Dr. King’s dream, he told listeners, “has been so corrupted.”

“Judge a man by the content of his character?” he said. “Character doesn’t
even matter in this country. It’s time we picked back up the job.”

He later added: “We are the people of the civil rights movement. We are the
ones that must stand for civil and equal rights, justice, equal justice. Not
special justice, not social justice. We are the inheritors and protectors of
the civil rights movement. They are perverting it.”


i am sure it was "divine providence" and carefully constructed and stage
managed  the hubris to call on an Elite

because of course Martin Luther King is an Elite in the dictionary sense of
of the word ... the "I have a Dream' speech

will be/ is one of those documents like

 the Magna Carta,

the Declaration of Independence

the Ten Commandments

referenced and referenced the referenced again

all this alluding reminds me of a quote from Walter Benjamin

" The *logical* outcome of *fascism* is an *aestheticizing* of *political* life
"

as the Italian Facists said

“Fiat ars, pereat mundus”
