I tell ya. The ruling classes (a real medley of a crowd! anyone ruthless and sick enough can make it to the top nowadays, it's not just for WASPs anymore!), they must just laugh their heads off about all the social mayhem and division they create that doesn't affect them in their bubble, in their secluded transnational corridor lifestyles. They laugh as cities burn while the five-and-six-figure drones drool and consume readymade excuses about ungrateful poor people ruining everything.
All these skeptical conservatives and handwringing liberals weren't paying attention during Covid when a historically unprecedented upward transfer of wealth happened. They aren't paying attention as corporations buy up all the real estate and farmland in order to presumably consolidate even more supreme power. They'll turn on the TV and see some strawman of "the degenerate liberal" or "the moronic conservative" and ignore the man behind the curtain entirely, which pleases him completely, since the only thing that could possibly threaten the ruling class monopoly on rulership would be, yknow, widespread unity.
