Maybe because the only credible opposition theyve had for the last century have explicitly defined themselves as working for the poor, so its natural for the tories to be seen as for the rich. They also seem to be less representative of society than they used to be, osbourne cameron bojo etc are easy to stereotype as posh out of touch southerners, whereas someone like macmillan, even if he was from london, at least had a northern constituency

It was when Conservative became attached to defending the capitalist mode of production, and defending the bourgeois class's power in society.

This was in contrast to the notions of Burke, and even the limited (though fading) influence of the aristocracy, and the aristocratic mindset on Disraeli.

The Bourgeois spirit has no sense of noble obliges, and no sense of relationship between the classes, or the need to pass on a legacy to the future.

The lack of all these things are necessary to thrive in the capitalist mode of production. And so Conservativism became wedded to defending a class that eat's it's own children, and the poor can see that.

They are the most rabid defenders of the neo-liberal, free market fundamentalist doctrine in Europe.
Any sensible person could not disagree that

> These policies rip the heart out of communities.
> They condemn large portions of the working class to becoming an underclass.
> It demands that a government must slap down any arguement that human needs should slow down the pace of de-regulation and the freedom of capital and labour.
> Neo-liberal narratives shift the blame of policy failure onto individuals - "get on your bike and find work." Where as there is an argument for less state coddling, this is absurd for particular sections of the population (the disabled, people with no skills and poor education.)

No matter how you sugar coat this, the fundamental fact that the Conservatives are happy to flush large parts of the population down the toilet to fit this country into a neo-liberal Procrustean bed is pretty divisive stuff as it is mostly the poor who suffer.

Why do they succeed? We have a mostly pliant media that does not discuss the wider context and systemic issues - e.g.
Housing crisis - "look at all those immigrants getting council houses."
ISIS - "Evil terrorist sickos! Help us Government!"

reminder that rich and influential groups such as the library of israel and the vatican withhold ancient key texts about humanity's past.

Don't forget the Eternal Anglo.

They dedicated much of their effort to collecting artifacts. Unprecedented.

>>603298
What exactly would they be withholding and why? I assume you are referring to the 'lost books' of the bible or anything that was considered noncanon. Do they think Enoch holds too many secrets?

Julius Caesar was of patrician birth, ie, a noble.

Yes, that's imperialist propaganda for you. Completely unlike revolutionary communist propaganda of course.

Are you implying that Americans glorify Wilson's actions during WWI?

Protip: they don't

As an Irishman I'm deeply hurt and offended by these people claiming my culture as their own.

Jokes aside, Foucault has nothing to do with the picture you posted and the fact that people equate his views with the phenomenon of "SJW"s (I hate that term) is really annoying.

With WW1 tech it was pretty much impossible to win against a similarly powerful force that can also blockade the shit out of you AND will get American help a few years in.

Avoid a general European war in the first place so that the western world doesn't go into decline?

Hebrew's the only one I rigorously studied, but I have a semi-decent grasp of Biblical Aramaic just from its similarity to Hebrew.

Ask me about the Sumerian language, Third Dynasty of Ur period preferably.

Some quick FAQs:
>Should I learn Sumerian?
Only if you love memorizing patterns and technicalities and incredibly long lists of exceptions to all the rules you thought you were comfortable with
>What can I read in Sumerian?
Here's just about everything: http://etcsl.orinst.ox.ac.uk/edition2/etcslbycat.php
>Is it worth it?
No. Learn Babylonian or Akkadian or Aramaic instead.
>Why did you learn it then?
I have a history boner for Sumer, and learning the language gives one some really interesting insights into the character of the people.
