Clock-of-the-leaf - Rewriter Of The Bridgerton

A screenshot of a social media post contains a quote attributed to Elon Musk and a quote from G.M. Gilbert. The first part “Elon Musk to CNN: ‘The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy, the empathy exploit,’ Musk said. ‘There it's they're exploiting a bug in Western civilization, which is the empathy response.’ Empathy, he said, has been ‘weaponized.’ Now read the attached, below:” [A black-and-white image of G.M. Gilbert, identified as the chief psychologist who interviewed Nazis during the Nuremberg Trials.] “I told you once that I was searching for the nature of evil. I think I've come close to defining it: a lack of empathy. It's the one characteristic that connects all the defendants. A genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow man. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy. - G. M. Gilbert AZ QUOTES”

So like this is what was going on with the holocaust, right? A large amount of people leaving the country for safety? a discriminatory leader? protection of business in support of the discriminatory leader and punishment of ones that don't? Large amounts of minorities being discriminated against? Using places made to punish people who've actually done things wrong to put innocent people in? That's what happened, right?

Because what I'm seeing now is queer people running for their lives, a discriminatory leader, protection of large companies like United healthcare, people discriminating against trans individuals and immigrants, and ICE imprisoning legal immigrants.

If sex is what you use as the only proof of compatibility between a pairing that you are trying to push at your audience maybe this pairing isn't worth being an endgame.

The Ton in the Bridgertons

We do not see much politics in the Bridgertons but as sexism exist you cannot brush over or make racism disapear in what 40 years ? I try to be sensible about but as I am a white individual I might make mistake and apologise if so and will correct it.

At first we would still keep the same hierarchy of power than the one in real life and, I assume, in the show.

Secondly let's talk about THE thing that changes everything in the Bridgertons : the Great experiment.

The Great experiment appeared for the same reason than show in Queen Charlotte but it's a bit more subtle. It was introduced mostly so Charlotte could marry the king George but never did the royal councils intended to actually give more power to the "other side" of the society. Even if people could now get invited and participate in activity didn't mean they'd be invited or treated well.

Queen Charlotte is actually the one who shacked things up, after mostly focusing on her marriage at first she slowly woke up and saw that despise what was said her own were still being rejected and treaded unfairly. By attending Lady Danbury ball, she shoke things up. When some titles were left without any heir she would think first of giving it to the "other side" (that's how Simon's dad became Duke) etc.

Even thought the Queen Charlotte promoted tolerance things didn't completely work out that way. The "original" Ton felt jealous and left alone and while they couldn't reject the other side at the more little scandal possible they would directly reject a familly. And while young did marry racized Lord it was almost UNFATHOMABLE that an eligible white Lord would marry a girl of colour. It got a little better but there is still a lot of pression on racized people. A few Lord did actually mary girls from the "other side" the most known one being St-Clair, Abernathy and the Sterlings leaving a lot of preassure on their children because they represent this new kind of union and must be perfect. So it is a big deal that so many of the Bridgertons will have union with people of the other side as they are one of the most old and respected familly.
