    The way this is written… It’s just so far from reality.

    Rich people (most of them) aren’t plotting to fuck us over for sinister reasons… They’re fucking us over because they are selfish, greedy assholes.

    The problem isn’t that we’re all being stepped on, it’s that we’re being used as steps to elevate these psychopaths.

    Is a very important distinction, even if the results feel the same. You can’t typically fight a problem effectively without understanding it.

      It doesn’t say anything about any sinister reasons actually. It simply states the fact that there is a systematic effort by the ruling class to extract more profit from the working majority.
