I believe it. I love how they think so highly of themselves that they assume you should recognize them or give a fuck. I forgot which famous ancient Greek it was but something to the effect of the children of politicians are the lowest of low.

Plato wanted the children of the politician class to be raised outside of their families to prevent nepotism and this BSery. The Republic is a fun authoritarian thought experiment, but damn is it right sometimes.
