What treason? impersonating nobility, sure. but how is that treason?

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You aren't allowed to impersonate nobility. It is usurping the power which has been given to the upper classes by God, which is enforced by the state. Denying God and the state and trying to seize power is treason.
