How did the Anglo ruling class develop such an extreme (to the point of genocidal) hatred of their working classes? Rich and powerful anglos almost seem gleeful at the sight of their poorer kin be disenfranchised, demoralized, driven to desperation, or even killed.
The aristocracy is encouraged to avoid the affairs of the commoners which bred apathy
Do they really though? Every ruling class whether they "hate" the working class or not knows that its their job to keep their extractive regime going. In this respect, I would say the Anglos are pretty bad at it. Pretty much every Anglo ruling class has had to make major concessions to their working classes while Indian Brahmins and African Billionaires get away with things that are completely thinkable in the West.Now none of this is down to altruism on the part of the ruling class. Its down to economic development and the resolve of the working classes. But as bad as Trump or Starmer are, you could be a chocolate farmer who never gets to taste chocolate while your president is a literal billionaire.
