It seems that its OK if you criticize a common human being (especially belonging to the labouring class) for his/her mental backwardness because he is a common being. But when you criticize authority for the same sort of misdeeds, its not at all OK. Criticizing a chair is simply not done – thats their firm position. You will face criticisms like How dare you?, You are going overboard, Dont ever criticize them, enjoy their great deeds, Their personal lives is not your business and things like that. It thus seems to imply all are equal some are more equal. And the more equal ones deserves special reverence from insignificant people like me. This is probably a reflection of a petit bourgeois mentality, as I see it.
