2) Deferentially address them only by their proper titles.
3) Know your place.
If you just follow these, a cloud of passive bliss cradles you that will foster personal and societal harmony.
To see the crudeness that results when proper titles of the ruling class are not honored, look at this 2017 WashPost article that viciously mocks PhDs who insist on being addressed as "Doctor." The context was "Dr. Gorka" but it has generalized derision:
Perhaps the most savage mockery came from @iamsambee, who announced that only insecure losers with shoddy intellects want to be publicly addressed as "Doctor."
It was deeply misogynistic, as one of her examples was an actual medical doctor: @DrJillStein. Shameful stuff here:

In May -- after Trump said there'd be a COVID vaccine by year's end -- MSNBC put on its medical expert, @IrwinRedlenerMD, to assure viewers that it was *impossible* -- not unlikely, but "impossible" -- for there to be a safe and effective vaccine ready before 2021.
CNN's @JessicaHuseman (of @propublica) also confidently assured everyone Trump was wrong & there could not be any vaccine by year's end.
Obviously, all they cared about was telling anti-Trump partisans what they wanted to hear, not the truth.
So both MSNBC and CNN analysts spread extreme mistrust about the impossibility of the COVID vaccine that has now arrived -- purely for their own selfish ends. They spent 4 years saying *anything*, without regard if it was true, just to feed anti-Trump fanatics what they wanted.
The real criminals are those @Snowden exposed: the security state officials like James Clapper and John Brennan who illegally and unconstitutionally spied on innocent people by the millions, and who still seek to do so. And they lied about it to the public.
"A US appellate court in September unanimously ruled the NSA’s program mass domestic surveillance program was illegal, as well as likely a violation of the 4th Amendment. The court, and the broader public, knew about this illegal surveillance by NSA only because of Snowden."
Mediocre journalists with no reporting accomplishments or record of bravery always hate most those who actually bring transparency to the world's most powerful factions and enable the most important scoops.
They're a mirror held up to these journalists, showing their failures:
If you know deep in your soul that you've never broken any major stories, and never took any risks to challenge powerful factions, and never will, is it really hard to understand why you would hate those -- such as Snowden and Assange -- who have done exactly that?
Also: it's pretty odd to declare everyone now agrees with you about Snowden as @ACLU, @RandPaul, @TulsiGabbard, press freedom & human rights groups all over the world, Lula, Dilma, and @nytimes declare him a heroic whistleblower who deserves a pardon.
The only ones angry would be Brennan, Clapper, Comey & Susan Rice.
For those who still can't comprehend why Trump twice said he was strongly considering a pardon of Snowden, it's because -- as he's explains -- he feels personally aggrieved by the precise abuses of power that Snowden risked his liberty to expose.

I've unlocked this article because I believe it's vital to document the historically corrupt behavior of the media, in with the intelligence community, prior to the 2020 election.
They knowingly lied -- over and over -- that the Hunter documents were "Russian disinformation."
The Iraq/WMD falsehoods were far more damaging, but at least they had the excuse they believed it. The Russiagate conspiracies were more sustained, but they could claim confusion.
This was a case of *purposeful* lying: they knew the docs were genuine & didn't come from Russia.
This isn't a story about Hunter Biden. People can debate the significance of his sleaze. It's about the media & the ongoing interference of CIA in US politics.
As soon as these *genuine* emails emerged, they invented a lie -- "Russian disinformation" -- that US media spread.
