Entry: Puritans or Habsburgs Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/puritans_or_habsburgs#1284 Post contents: The old blue-blood Yankee WASPS do seem to be something of an historical relic nowadays. Think how odd it would seem to have a Unitarian President nowadays, and remember Taft was just that and John Adams nearly so. Aren't we fortunate that Dick Cheney, Jeane Kikpatrick, Scoop Jackson, Francis Fukuyama and Douglas Feith were around to pick up their slack? I think many of the readers here might be interested in the amateur sociological analysis of the inhabitants of the U.S by Mencius Moldbug, a skeptic of democracy and semi-libertarian. Here is <a href="http://unqualified-reservations.blogspot.com/2007/05/castes-of-united-states.html">Castes of the United States</a> and <a href="http://unqualified-reservations.blogspot.com/2007/05/bdh-ov-conflict_07.html">The BDH-OV conflict</a>. His castes are the Brahmins, Dalits, Helots, Optimates and Vaisyas. The old blue-bloods once made up the Optimates, but Brahmins now have complete control over the elite educational institutions which all young Optimates must attend, resulting in most becoming Brahmins themselves.
