[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=PaleoConPrep]This talk of "pleb tier" and "patrician schools" amuses me. There are no  more "patrician schools. " Virtually all colleges are now "pleb tier" The Ivy League died in the 60s. The Ivys are now all ultra-Leftist diverse dumps, and lovers of everything that has destroyed Western civilization( Feminism, the LGBT perversion, and all other forms of Cultural Marxism) Just because someone can get whatever job they want after they graduate from the Ivys doesn't make them "petrician schools." A true "petrician school" would be all-male, and would  only educate the aristocracy/elite. Harvard, Yale, Oxford, Cambridge, Williams, Amherst, Hamilton, Trinity,  Hampden-Sydney, W&L, and Davidson all used to be petrician colleges. Then the 60s came, and all of them embraced Cultural Marxism. [/quote]

"Petrician" (sic) LOL

Not sure you understand what being "patrician" is all about. Plenty are liberal, including FDR, the ultimate patrician, who gave us Social Security and Medicare.

I'm so glad my kid is at an Ivy learning about tolerance and hard work. For the record, she has 3 Declaration signers in the family, and there are public spaces with her ancestors' (great-great-great grandparents') names on them. And you, Ms. Spokesperson for patricians everywhere?

 Disagree. There are varying definitions of the word "patrician", but when I think patrician, I think aristocrat. Sure,  some kids at Ivys have lots of money, nice cars, and are generally able to do what they want after college. That doesn't make them aristocrats.  That makes them extremely wealthy (often entitled) people. If everyone with money is an "aristocrat", then the term is meaningless. The Kardashians are quite a bit wealthier than me, but I'd fit the mold of a classical aristocrat way more than any of them.  Having money is part of it, but there are certain characteristics and values that a true aristocrat has. If you want to know what a true "Aristocrat" is, start reading the works of Joseph de Maistre, Julius Evola, and King James I.( all REAL aristocrats, unlike FDR)
