You are a prince, a feudal lord, part of the nobility and aristocracy, and GOD do you love it! The castle, the servants, the money and material wealth, the fear you instill in the peasantry: your omnipotence. On occasion you pillage, plunder, rape, and slaughter, but you\u2019re not really troubled by it, because you are right with God. Sure, Jesus opposed everything you do, but no worry, you have an \u201cin:\u201d you can buy salvation from those who claim they can dispense it. A bag of gold or silver to the local bishop, and you\u2019re good to go (to heaven, that is). This practice was called buying \u201cindulgences.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a

You are part of the wealthy elite, the aristocracy: perhaps a career politician, a corporate CEO, a high-level bureaucrat, college administrator, or media figure. Like your predecessors, you <em>love <\/em>the money and material wealth, the mansions, and the power and influence you wield. Hopefully you're not out slaughtering people, but you still pillage and plunder and steal from the peasantry, but in a more genteel way. You don\u2019t care about God, but you <em>do worship god<\/em>s- your privilege, your wealth, and status above others; it\u2019s what you live for, and will do anything to maintain. Maybe you\u2019re not a complete sociopath and actually feel a little guilty, but you know you\u2019re not going to change. So you created your own form of indulgences, and you call them Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and the best thing is they don\u2019t cost you anything. If you <em>do<\/em> lay out cash to buy indulgences, it\u2019s with someone else\u2019s money. To whom might you give other people\u2019s money? To the modern day version of the corrupt establishment church- the profiteering elite of the race grievance industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default

He, of course, is a wealthy and privileged white guy; nevertheless he went on and on about how horribly racist we are but we\u2019re too stupid to realize it. He equated courage with \u201chaving conversations about race,\u201d and overall implied he was the anointed one to whom we should bow down. His arrogance was impressive but not unique: it must be a rush to feel you are so superior to others that you have the right to tell them how defective they are, and what they need to think and how they should act. I know very few people who fail to treat others with dignity and respect regardless of skin color, etc, and what a wonderful thing that is. I feel sorry for the the truly good people are cowed into questioning their decency by cultural bullies. This compares to the virtue signaling phonies who gain approbation by \u201cadmitting\u201d they are \u201cracist,\u201d like a televangelist who, for vanity and money, pretends to humble himself by confessing, \u201cI too am a sinner!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/sa-usa-kenneth-and-joleneHodders-scaled.jpg?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"625\" height=\"417\" data-id=\"1210\"  src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/sa-usa-kenneth-and-joleneHodders.jpg?resize=625%2C417&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/sa-usa-kenneth-and-joleneHodders-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/sa-usa-kenneth-and-joleneHodders-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/sa-usa-kenneth-and-joleneHodders-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C513&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/sa-usa-kenneth-and-joleneHodders-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1025&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/sa-usa-kenneth-and-joleneHodders-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1367&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/sa-usa-kenneth-and-joleneHodders-scaled.jpg?resize=960%2C641&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/sa-usa-kenneth-and-joleneHodders-scaled.jpg?w=1250&amp;ssl=1 1250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/sa-usa-kenneth-and-joleneHodders-scaled.jpg?w=1875&amp;ssl=1 1875w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/James-Quinceycocacolaceo.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-id=\"1211\"  src=\"https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/James-Quinceycocacolaceo-1024x682.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/James-Quinceycocacolaceo-1024x682.webp 1024w, https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/James-Quinceycocacolaceo-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/James-Quinceycocacolaceo-768x511.webp 768w, https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/James-Quinceycocacolaceo-960x639.webp 960w, https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/James-Quinceycocacolaceo.webp 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/pepsicoRamon-LaguartaHeadshot-4.jpg?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"625\" height=\"597\" data-id=\"1212\"  src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/pepsicoRamon-LaguartaHeadshot-4.jpg?resize=625%2C597&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/pepsicoRamon-LaguartaHeadshot-4.jpg?resize=1024%2C978&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/pepsicoRamon-LaguartaHeadshot-4.jpg?resize=300%2C286&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/pepsicoRamon-LaguartaHeadshot-4.jpg?resize=768%2C733&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/pepsicoRamon-LaguartaHeadshot-4.jpg?resize=1536%2C1466&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/pepsicoRamon-LaguartaHeadshot-4.jpg?resize=960%2C916&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/pepsicoRamon-LaguartaHeadshot-4.jpg?w=1875&amp;ssl=1 1875w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/pepsicoRamon-LaguartaHeadshot-4.jpg?w=1250&amp;ssl=1 1250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\"><em>Salvation Army (USA) commissioners Kenneth &amp;
