First there was the divine rights of kings and caesars. After those excesses came power-sharing with parliaments and legislators with a more sustainable governing paradigm. So much so that the British monarchy has become a rubber stamp for England's Parliament.
Then comes the inevitable excesses of demagoguery that markets guilt for perceived past injustices. This includes affirmative action to remedy slavery, reparations to Japanese for internment and the creation of Israel to pay for the Holocaust.
But there is a blowback and resistance by present-day people who resent being dunned for a guilt bill that they didn't run up. So for all who still want something for nothing, the party is coming to an end.
