I hate the idea of nobility referenced as superior (noble). Some fairly scummy characters have been nobles; they didn’t get there because of virtue. Often they were just the best killers amd/or the most conniving schemers. Mankind had a hard time overcoming those with superior political rights. freedom includes the right to hate things like obnoxious songs, bad politics etc. It is necessary for a democracy to be vigilant against cults, classes and concentrated wealth that would make mankind spiritless jellyfish-sardines malleable to their will.
In the Bible; Revelation 3:15-16″“15“I know your works; I know that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either cold or hot. 16* So, because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of my mouth.” Also consider Luke 14:26 “
“If any man come to Me and hate not his father and mother, and wife and children, and brethren and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple.”
One must be wary of government and corporate ideas about hate speech and psychological and political control of the masses for they have always been too happy to exercise thought control. Wrong, reprehensible acts can fairly be proscribed, and language plainly intended to cause harm may be countered but people need be free to thin and to hate things, and that basically means to reject things, that they do not like. Freedom of thought and speech are essential human rights for a life that isn’t subordinated to a superior class by force.
