That is a great way to describe the divide. Was the wealth created by productivity or plunder?
The one percent is not the only group that engages in plunder. There are people at all levels who seek plunder. There are thousands of plankton accounts with a single focus of getting free money from Hive without giving thought on how to benefit the community.
Quite frankly, I think people motivated by wealth envy are engaged in the politics of plunder.
The hope is that strong armed leaders will redistribute some of the plunder in their direction.
Yes. Politics is promising some crumbs from the plundering process to different people in order to buy their support and compliance.
