    This, and an earlier post about how ‘Einsteins’ are born and die struggling and having given up on their natural talents and dreams, dying as slaves, dying in debt, etc… really paints the picture that the Rich and Elite own the world, and why they feel that way. They do, they really do own the world, and anything that disrupts the balance, the poors at the bottom and the Elite at the top… must be strangled and destroyed.

    Black Wallstreet? Free higher education? Free medical care? Collective bargaining? Free and fair elections? The open internet? Consumer protections? Social safety nets or regulations* of any kind? These things remove the burden from the back of the working class, enabling them to escape. Removing or bluring the lines that distinctly separate us from them… and they can’t have that.

    It’s by design, they lost some of their power over the last couple hundred years, incrementally, and they’re taking it back. They learned their lesson with the anti-hijab, BLM, 99%, and every other social movement protest in the last 20 years, and even before that with MLK and other global civil rights icons.

    It’s all been a coordinated attack* to keep us in line and easily controlled. After they destroy democracy by allying the US with Russia and China against the rest of the world, and the dust settles with your newly formed super powers, Euroasia, Eastasia and Oceania, there won’t be any Internet. You’ll be lucky if it’s just the Iranian Revolution.

    A few lines from one of my favorite movies; ‘In what world could I live where you have everything and I have nothing?’ Or ‘I shouldn’t be jealous of you!’, it’s been a minute but hopefully these are close enough. The Count of Monte Cristo.
