No doubt they should not, but that would be a different topic, one which has been (and will continue to be) abundantly addressed, in this era and every other.

No doubt they should not, but that would be a different topic, one which has been (and will continue to be) abundantly addressed, in this era and every other. Yet, there is always a ruling class, and their children don't always act this way. So, it is a worthy topic to consider: why this way, and why now? To the question of "why does the ruling elite have so much power?", one could answer, "it was ever thus", which is hardly satisfying but is true. But to the question, "why do the children of the ruling elite pretend they are the oppressed?", such an answer is manifestly untrue. So, there is a question there that needs answering, which doesn't already have centuries of answers written.
