It comes from the PIE root *áryas, which meant "noble", and was probably used as an autonym, in some form, by Pontic Steppe derived aristocracies all over Eurasia. It's a controvertial subject and modern etymologists will deny it, but the Proto-Germanic "Abala", the Irish "Éire" and the Greek "Aristos", all meaning "noble", are probably all related to the PIE "*áryas". It was a word that referred to a single ethnic ruling caste that dominated many societies, it basically meant the same as the modern European concept of aristocracy (most European aristocratic lines descend from Germanic equestrian conquerers).

Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵
I re-launched Democracy Americana exactly one month ago, as I started my new life as a full-time writer.
Time for a quick rebrand.
No worries, nothing else changes. New look, same focus: The ongoing conflict over how much democracy, and for whom, there should be in America.
Abstract for the article: How does right-wing terrorism affect electoral support for populist radical right parties (PRRPs)? Recent research has produced contrary answers to this question. We argue that only high-intensity attacks, whose motives and targets mirror PRRPs’ nativist agenda, are likely to generate a media backlash that dampens electoral support for PRRPs. We test this argument by combining high-frequency survey and social media data with a natural and survey experimental design. We find that right-wing terror reduced support for the radical right party Alternative für Deutschland after one of the most intense nativist attacks in recent German history. An analysis of all ninety-eight fatal right-wing attacks in Germany between 1990 and 2020 supports our argument. Our findings contribute to an understanding of how political violence triggers partisan detachment and have important implications for media responsibility in the aftermath of terrorist attacks.

This is a regime at war: With large segments of the population, with pluralistic democracy and American society as it actually exists.
They are not looking to reform or compromise, they desire to destroy, conquer, and dominate.
So many echoes from this article for US politics....

I'm getting tired of saying this but being extremely stupid is only bad if intelligence matters to your particular epistemic community and/or you are unable to externalize the costs of your stupidity. unfortunately for the rest of us, neither of these conditions is met in this case!

I am starting my new life as a full-time writer focused on U.S. history and politics right after we left the United States. Life and work in America felt increasingly untenable for us.
We were in the privileged position to have the choice to leave.
