Quote from crash n burn:
it is not about ownership.
it is about power.
the middle class allows the elite to keep their power, as their role in the society is insulating them from the pockets of dissent.
this relationship has been pin pointed by many authors in last decades, i.e. orwell, huxley, etc and has became increasingly evident during the last 20 years when the world marched towards globalization.
free markets doesn't exist today and never existed before. it is all part of their agenda to convince people they can also join the club of the wealthy and powerful countries/people/families etc. this club is not open and free markets is an hoax.
depopulation is a myth IMHO. we have the world on terror to serve that purpose.
Ownership is power. And power is ownership.
The right to lawfully seize present and future labor of citizens is involuntary servitiude. Or neo-feudalism. Ownership over a persons TIME = slavery.
We're actually in agreement on quite a bit, just the semantics are different.
The middle class always existed. It just got bigger over time. To claim it was an invention by the Elite to "control" the underclass is silly.
The industrial revolution and all the attendant wealth created from that, was no more the result of a conspiracy then Edison's invention of the light bulb. Free markets really do create wealth. The side effect of that is upward mobility for the poor into a Middle Class.
National economies were forced to industrialize via prisoners dilemma (innovate or get conquered), and followed suit. Hence, the emergent middle class.
Lots of historical societies had a very small ruling and middle class with a broad underclass, and survived centuries. One king can't rule a million slaves without middle managers.
I agree markets have never been truly free. But lets use the relevant definition of the term. Meaning contemporary markets. A ton of private wealth and innovation was created despite not being truly free.
And the environmental scaremongering for depopulation is bullshit. I agree. But our Global Leaders are pushing it anyway. Their target is a half a billion people. I'm sure you're aware of the Georgia Guidestones. We're the disease, friend. They own us and hold all the cards. We're a threat to their existence. Hence, depopulation.
