inscrutable and non-functioning vestigial ideologies

We're expected to apply rights only to the classes perched upon the lower classes. Ironically, a set of laws and institutional structures were created within the luxury of the slave state, structures that preserved certain freedoms and opportunities. But the laws have persisted beyond the class system and its upper limit.

This is what is happening now and in the USA we have the unique dynamic of a formerly slave-driven economy and culture forced (after more than 150 years) to finally confront pragmatic clarity relative to its own murky and oppressive recent past.

Cultures and regimes that glorified and enforced rural structures and philosophies have been among the most destructive, and that resembles this dawning notion in "our own time"-- and this has occurred in every time, so that occasional generations throughout history have had these moments, as have all previous cultures which moved towards civilization as cities began to be the engines of pragmatism which led to durability. As in these same engines of the pragmatic, our laws persist and we have the unique and therefore most dynamic of anti-rural opportunities.
