The Definition of Aristocracy
The original meaning of the word aristocracy simply referred to 'the rule of the best'. Aristos, the Greek word for best, implied the ‘most fitting or best suited’, while kratos referred to rule or power. This early definition described only the characteristics of suitability and gover-nance, with no relation to class or wealth.
European Aristocracy
Adriaan de Lelie, the family of Jan van Loon, 1786
The Norwegian Mediocracy.
By the Editor-in-chief
State-led policy of philosophy with direct anti-human traits. Fear of aristocracy and the upper class led to rhetorical absurdity wrapped in cuddly talk.
The Norwegian way of creating dialogue and common ground is to understand everything in death, then minimize what has been said and reflect it back as an unworthy nothing. Because in Norway you should neither be anything nor get confirmation that what you say is worth something. Out of the state's vision of social equality, an intel-lectual underclass has been created.
The Norwegian way of talking to another human being is done with the rude "you" (German: Du) "You" has become a rhetorical free pass that allows the user to cross personal boundaries without paying the slightest consideration. In this way, the person can in the most obvious way step into another person's most personal areas and utilize this; right of use and property rights included. The form of accusation "you" seems to add to intimacy, but it is in its character completely superficial. One wants to give the impression of psychological closeness, and it can be used to manipulate the person being talked to.
Saying "you" is dehumanizing and without dignity. Lack of real dignity and respect are two factors that clarify Norwegians' relationship with each other. Superficial, sort of commitment wrapped in "you" is what characterizes the Norwegian, democratic society of today.
In the aristocratic society, on the other hand, everyone knew their rightful, social place. In a democratic society, everyone moves around at high speed while at the same time being extremely concerned with giving the impression of closeness through cuddly talk such as "Enjoy yourself!"
Up until the nineteen seventies, the exalted and respectful form of speech «DU» (Norwegian: De; German: Sie) was used in Norway, but then something happened; the Norwegian State intervened and set out to remove the respectful form «DU» (German: Sie), and instead introduced the disrespectful «you» (German: Du) form.
The "YOU" form was simply too exalted; the Norwegian State did not like it. And then all impressions of aristocracy and upper class were leveled off and replaced with mediocrity and unworthiness.
Now it was okay to be a bully dressed in a suit. The "you" form (German: Du) enabled a shift from the rhetorically exalted to the rhetorically absurd and has contributed greatly to the general dissolution of social norms.
