Class Warfare
The topic is Class Warfare.
John Locke recommended to British nobility a method for increasing their wealth. Create a middle class with some liberty and illusionary democracy and there will be more for the rich to steal.
“The sixteenth-century soldier gloried in the diversity of his raiment, often collected by looting; indeed, the Renaissance fashion of slashing the outer garment to display the silks and velvets worn underneath had been adopted precisely to demonstrate that a soldier could take fine things as he pleased and wear them with impunity.” —A History of Warfare by John Keegan.
What a hypocrite. Elon Musk has received billions in corporate welfare from U.S. taxpayers. Now he wants to stop 30 million Americans who lost jobs from receiving $600 a week in unemployment benefits, while his wealth has gone up by $46.7 billion over the past 4 months. Pathetic. https://t.co/hECaTul3ZI

Fun fact: If we were to take Elon Musks net worth and split it evenly between the people who actually do work for Tesla (The Employees I mean) Each of them would receive around 1.5 Million dollars long story short he can get fvcked

Stop defending an economy that produces oligarchs who make $13 billion dollars in a single fucking day.

Capitalism is when you hate the poor for getting an extra $600 a week for doing nothing but defend a Billionaire for making $13B in a day also doing nothing

The “real enemy” is not even Donald Trump. He is a symptom of a sick nation that puts the endless greed of the 1% over the dignity of the 99%. The real enemy is the oligarchy and corporate duopoly who use corrupt politicians to loot the working class and enrich the ruling class.

Rich person sees 12 apples on the table. Grabs 11. Touches the elbow of the middle class and whispers “Be careful, poor people are going to leave you without apples! ”. Convincing the middle class that poor people are the problem is America’s rich superpower!

The rich eat the fruit.
Then tell the middle class, “illegals stole your share.”
