22. "there are great people who have a lot of money and have done amazing things"

But how did they get the money?

Do you think it was all due to their personal creativity and labor? I bet it wasn't.

Uncritically believing the self-serving claims of the ruling class makes a person a peasant. That's what peasants do. They support the ruling classes and their system because it never occurs to them to question what they're told. Many are so committed to remaining peasants that they'll even turn people in for trying to raise their consciousness.

If someone owns a business and has employees who produce the goods the business sells, it doesn't matter how many hours per week he personally works -- his income comes in part from skimming from those employees. They get less than they're worth, he gets more. And he has all kinds of phoney "logic" to hoodwink them into believing his exploitation of them is natural and fair.

Don't be a peasant.
