The analysis is good, but some use it as an excuse to give up. A lot of people can't afford to do that, never did. Life is not a series of skits and one-liners that replace reality and allow us to stand back safely and laugh, because life demands the best we can do.
But yeah, societies have always been organized into rigid hierarchies that seek to force people into a niche that is less than beneficial, just to survive.
There are a lot of willing peons, as I call the less well off the RepubliClowns. They either have not sought or been given the opportunity to lift themselves up and hate it, So they satisfy themselves by keeping busy putting others down.
That they may have been victims at the start of the process, doesn't mean they're not perpetrators now. That's where they are the most dangerous.
They want revenge on a lot of people for their lives, or what they thoughttheir lives should have been. They never snap at the hand they think is feeding them but will savage everyone else they can.
Thus they're doomed and will take us with them, I fear.
Thanks for you good posts to me here.
