What happens when someone turns against the very class that raised them? In this video, we break down the concept of the class traitor — individuals who, by choice or necessity, aligned themselves with the interests of the lower classes or the populist tide, often to the fury of their elite peers. From Gaius Marius and Julius Caesar breaking the Roman oligarchy… to FDR’s New Deal rebellion against his patrician upbringing… to Alan Greenspan’s Ayn Rand-to-Federal Reserve pivot… and modern figures like J.D. Vance or Luigi Mangione — we trace the motives, consequences, and historical weight of elite defection.Link to Old Money Luxury Video on Luigi Mangione: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lM8GfMA55NgCheck out our friend and collaborator's "Old Money Luxury" channel for more info on this case and much more: /  @oldmoneyluxury  .
