Banksters vs. Peasants

So the class war continues, with 95% of us on the losing side. That’s about par for course.

Divide and conquer. Control the press and use PR to keep the peasants misinformed. And fighting each other, or other fake bogeymen. Just keep them from paying attention to the men behind the curtains, running things. And screwing them out of something: money, work, time and health.

So should we shrug and say “same old, same old” then bend over and say “thank you, Sir, may I have another?”

Only if you consent to being a tool. Or consent to accepting that your neighbor’s being used as a tool.

Will there ever be a way to successfully bridge the gaps that the rich like to plant to keep the peasants distracted from their thieveries and predations (which they consider to be ‘just compensation’)?

It’s the most damaging of wars, common throughout human history, because it’s so rarely challenged, because it’s fought so surreptitiously. Dare to stand up to fight it and you’ll be branded a radical, anti-wealth socialist. It never rests. And you’re either its tool or its impediment. And disposable, like a modern diaper.

Again, is there a way to make it change?
