It's not about the gays vs straights or blacks vs whites or the Romulans vs The Federation. It's about the billionaires vs everybody else. It's a class war. It aways has been. And life is never going to improve for most of us until we figure out where the REAL source of our pain comes from. Like George Carlin once said:
"That's the way the ruling class works in any society. They keep the lower and middle classes fighting with each other so that they . . . the rich . . . can run off with all the f*cking money."
Why do you stop at billionaires, and not include the politicians and the people that hold power?
You forgot the journalists who frame narratives and the intellectuals who secrete the ideology that makes it all possible.
