More like something a senile grandfather would do, changing the will without the knowledge of the kids.

There was an auld brother and sister, neither of whom married, living in my street growing up. They both lived well into their 80s and left the house to the local church. A mighty sound gesture.

Are you still seething after you made a complete tit out of yourself after claiming 5 out of 7 premier leagues is very poor?
The first one is bang onā¦ TFK suffers in a big way from this. The likes of @Raylan, @maroonandwhite and @carryharry and right wing loon balls in general can not see the bigger picture on most issues and reduce everything to a single cause to suit their narrative of hate.

Wasnt tocqueville a big advocate of American Democracy ? - the one that supported slavery, excluded natives and men of no property and women?

The point ? A man advocating/ living in a time of very limited democracy - limited to rich , white , men ā stuck in a little clause that said - even though we now give slaves more water breaks and better food, theyāll still be unhappy and will some day look to end slavery, the bastardsā¦
If living standards rise, then they rise for everyone, not just the bottom - thus, inequality still exists in a capitalist society (not that iām advocating against capitalism) and power / wealth remains in the hands of the few - telling someone on minimum wage - If you had lived 100 years ago youād be dead down a mine by now - means fuck all to the here and now. People live their lives in the context of the issues they have to deal with in the present.
Whatās being confused here is living standards and equality - inequality fuels many of lifeās social problems which brings us right back to Causal Reductionism.
