You have to be raised as one. Unless you’re like 10 and your family just bacame nouveau rich, you’ll never make it and just end up wasting time and making an ass out of yourself. Just be yourself, dude.

You first have to become an aristocrat of the mind. Dressing up doesn't make you a gentleman. Read, cultivate your virtues, go out, visit different places, have friends that you can talk to about interesting stuff.

That’s crazy you should definitely be racist. However you should express your racism as a “white savior” complex, and learn long discarded Victorian racial science and explorer culture. You can’t be a wignat but you can be a eugenicist with a collection of skull calipers. Phrenology works btw

Isn't it funny to consider that the underclass boys in that picture would be considered formerly dressed today?
Wearing so much as a blazer seems out of place for young people today but back in the '80s everyone seemed to dress basically how they'd like, "formal" or not
Any young people willing to tell me that I'm wrong?

no,no you have to be sudtle and implicit about it. you do t bring it up all the time, its more like the gestalt of an opinion. have you bot read writings by gentlemen from the 1800’s? doesnt even have to be western gentlemen, an egyptian gentleman or a japanese gentleman would be the same. eing partial to your own people or ideals or considering each race to have a different gist or essence. racism doesnt have to be mean, crass, or in your face, just partial or distinction making :)

idk if thats full true. seeing how pants were considered low class working cloths until the french revolution and upended breeches. i do think it is part of the greater trend, but there are different aspects to it as well. including what cloths are produced and such. i dont think t-shirts were much of a thing in the 1880’s abd the equivalent of blazers would be wore. as commonwear (often witb a ruffer fiber rather than the more fine ones)
