RE: MY DEFINITION: Who are the 0.01%? If we're going to deal with them they must be defined.

in #philosophy7 years ago

I think that 1% term should be just metaphor for the finanacial elite (I hate to use the term elite for these fuckers) the high end bankers, the influencers, the persuaders, the war mongers, the decrepit old men of money. We all know who they are.

Sort:  

We all know who they are.

Perhaps here. :) The rest of the world doesn't know much about them at all. That takes time, and research and most people would rather just have someone they know that they think is intelligent tell them who they should attack. You find this out when you try engaging protestors with actual dialog. They often know very little in terms of reasons why they are there other than some talking points.

When you say 'someone they know' that often comes in the form of heavily biased information from news corporations which should be seen as nothing more than entertainment, people think they have a trusting relationship with their favourite news anchor. Unfortunately the majority of the population get their ideologies and political slants from their TV screen.

Yep. I know. That was part of my point. :)

Yes, I think you have as close an answer as we're likely to get right there kevkong but as dwinblood says below, the problem is to get the majority of the population at large to realize who they are and, more to the point how much they're being manipulated by them fortheir own ends.
Of course we're all "singing on the same hymn sheet" as the saying goes on here, and to a lesser extent to our friends on FaceBook as well.
What we have to do is somehow compete and win against the Mainstream media which is their propaganda channel espousing a divide and rule agenda keeping them fighting each other instead of uniting against the ones who are truly causing the worlds pain. These people have been ruling using the two tenets of "divide and rule" and "give them bread and circuses" all the way back to Roman times. I don't know what the answer is, but I hope that we find one soon before they destroy us all....
I have resteemed this and am following you BTW @dwinblood
