Yeah I’m somewhat sympathetic but also there’s precedent. Peter Kropotkin was a literal prince who gave it up and became a voice of anarchy and communism. One of the Haymarket widows was an heiress who gave it up to marry a condemned revolutionary.

Stand as our equal and enjoy our community. You cannot be loved from a pedestal, whether you put yourself on it or we did.
