Versailles, Ruling Citadel of Planet Pepe
"Versailles" represents the "Elite' who, whether justified by Birthright, or Divine mandate, or History, or the Dialectic, or Race, or Allah, or a thousand other myths, claim to be the Class that should, and must, have unquestioned command over the benighted masses. This Aristocracy has mortal loathing for the productive, self-sufficient, moral minded, stinking bourgeoisie, and those Kulacky peasants who aspire to that awful and declasse' middle class.
It has profound affinity for all creeds and ideologies that sunder mankind into an "elite" Vanguard and collectives/tribes/classes ruled by the "wisdom" of that Vanguard.
It has an even more profound antipathy to any real democracy. Any one in which it is the people who govern the government, and not an Aristocratic class that uses the government as the means to subjugate the people. Any one in which it is the people who possess liberty and rights which are theirs intrinsically, and not "privileges" granted by the "kindness" of the local Aristos. A people who have Life, Liberty, and their right to Pursue Happiness as naturally as "Versailles" has arrogance, decadence, and the totalitarian lust.
In short: To "What is Versailles?" We can answer thus:
Planet Pepe IS Versailles, and Le Pew is its Prophet.

Amen to that, AA. So what should we do, then? Prostrate ourselves before the glory of Versailles? Or march to the castle, like those stinking peasants from Transylvania, with torches alight?
You gotta give it to the Frenchies, the Marseillaise is a stirring hymn. Allons enfants!
March to the Castle, torches lit, sounds good, AI.
Regarding the pictures: Nietzsche was against Aristocratic rule (he loathed Otto von Bismarck), but also troubled by what happens with Democracy (especially when a horde of morons, the majority, are allowed to rule over the minority). These aren't new themes, though. We could even find these kinds of ruminations within the writings of Locke.
I understand the politics behind the picture, but politics is often (perhaps always) intellectually misleading. Remove Nietzsche and you get more intellectually honest picture. And definitely keep Marx and Hitler and Stalin and the rest in there. That's all.
So what should we do, then? Prostrate ourselves before the glory of Versailles?
Yup. You definitely should. Do like aa: bend over and breathe deeply.
