Hi all, again!
I'm a bit shocked by some of what is being said, though I've seen it before among “populist” circles, but I find it highlx ironic. Liberals were always the ones talking about the “rich”; the “1%”, “.1%”, “.01%”, etc. and the conservatives (including here) always the ones excoriating them; telling them to “stop envying“, “stop coveting“, they “deserve” it, they “earned” it, if you want to have more like them, stop “whining” and just pull yourself up by the bootstraps, and that the problem was the undeselving poor getting all the money (via “taxes”).
Yet now, when tied to “globalism”, it's the conservatives all of a sudden complaining about “billionaires”! And do you really think Trump is going to be the one to stop them? Has he ever given any indication of anything like that? Or is he more like another one of them himself, and giving them more of our tax dollars? (So why would they “hate“ him just because of borders or Christian moral issues? They have the power either way, and these often become smokescreen issues used to distract).
So it looks both the left and right now are pointing at the same group in the world, yet blaming each other for them, and thus staying so divided, no one will be able to do anything about the problem, except go to war against others of the same class, if not poorer, seen as the beneficiaries of this rich class, rather than they benefitting only themselves.
