Evidently not. Modernity is a myth.
Hierarchies are fundamental, have always existed in human societies, and will continue to exist for as long as there are humans.
Alfred Adler, the Austrian academic and psychotherapist has written about the universal nature of the superiority complex and inferiority complex.
Accordingly, the inferiority complex is fundamentally more important than the flip-side, which is just a superficial mask to hide the former. People have always manufactured their outward superiority complexes as a coping mechanism to navigate their anxieties, insecurities, and sense of inferiority.
Consequently, the inferiority complex can give rise to two-distinct types of envy:
- Benign
2. Malicious
For the sake of argument, this article is only concerned about the latter, which always entails a social cost due to its malevolent and destructive nature: "If you can't beat them, join them", but the opposite is just as true.
Benign envy might galvanise a jealous person towards self improvement in order to overcome their anxiety, insecurity, and inferiority complex, but self improvement is not always an option, so that the inferiority complex will be manifested as a malicious envy instead.
The latter is always manifested as a desire to destroy what another person has, denial of their accomplishments, or sabotaging their superior work such as to alleviate a jealous person's sense of inferiority.
Consequently, a jealous person will often use the above methods to attack the target of envy if only to reduce their pain on a temporary basis.
It is like an obsessive-compulsive disorder whereby a sufferer is addicted to attacking the target of envy to alleviate their own suffering until such time as they require yet another 'fix'.
Their addiction is like a vicious never ending cycle:
- Stalking
2. Arranged marriage
3. Online abuse
Thus, the highest echelons of the ruling class will often use their resources to arrange their child's marriage as a means to attack their target of envy based on their assumptions that a Morganatic marriage might provide a permanent solution to counterbalance their sense of inferiority.
In the specific context of a Western society, it usually entails marriage to a coloured person or the lower echelons of the white community, and the latter is always a contingency in case their child rejects the former option.
A Morganatic marriage, by definition, will usually involve the pairing of people who are fundamentally different in terms of their social, cultural, ethnic, or racial heritage based on the most flimsy excuses, such as them living in the same town, or the subjective comparison of people who are fundamentally different in terms of their socioeconomic status.
Such covert operations by the government and their elite financial backers are bound to be criminal or at least a tortious liability of one form or another.
Ultimately, it seems that not everyone will be agreed upon what comprises a Morganatic marriage or doesn't, and not everyone will be agreed about the specific circumstances that would give rise to a non-traditional marriage.
So, of course the controversy of a Morganatic marriage is still a relevant concern to our supposedly 'modern' society because the question itself is still fundamental to the hierarchy for as long as humans will continue to exist.
