    Because the rich are smart enough to keep the working class divided and fighting between themselves, never realizing who the real enemy is causing all their pain.

    I’ll bite:

    most societies have more than 2 classes

    The UK has a strong social and cultural difference between working, middle and upper class.

    India and others have a caste system

      Lrrr’s question applies to any number of classes. Though you could make a point that it only works if one class is larger than all others combined

    Do you have any idea how full of microplastics, toxins, and artificial dyes they are? Eat them? Geez, I wouldn’t eat food grown in their compost.

    “The Time Machine is interpreted in modern times as a commentary on the increasing inequality and class divisions of Wells’ era, which he projects as giving rise to two separate human species: the fair, childlike Eloi, and the savage, simian Morlocks, distant descendants of the contemporary upper and lower classes respectively.”

    “(The Time Traveller) realizes that the Morlocks control and feed upon the Eloi.”

    Because the rich aren’t the problem. Class is. Class consciousness is the solution.

    Such a non-actionable meme.

    How about this: You have to go vote for the better of the two parties, because they are substantially different and one does have a history of policy and legislation supporting labor, education, access to health care, equity, and the environment.

    Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. What’s their goal?

      The world is not black and white as you ascribe. This is clearly evidenced by current events. This is not a fault of the people; rather it is the fault of those who actively invest in class warfare.

      I’m not defending those who follow Trump, Musk, or Fox News. But rather, I pity them for being put in situations to believe these institutions are truths and everything else is a lie.
