In my ever-intermittent coverage of the subtitled translation of the events of the day, I offer this:


And yes, it truly just doesn't matter. The status quo will be what the ownership class decides it will be. Nothing- well, nothing that improves the state of affairs for the non-ownership class will happen.

Lest you delude yourself: owning a house doesn't make you part of the ownership class.
Being a 'politically active citizen' doesn't make you part of the ownership class.
Owning a retirement account, some stocks, or any other 'investment vehicle' doesn't make you a part of the ownership class.

Being simply a "have" instead of a "have-not" doesn't make you a part of the ownership class.

The ownership class sits upon massive dynastic wealth, livid in greed over the thought that anyone else has anything else. And the ownership class runs this show. The government? It is just another arm, another vehicle to express their control.

Think I am just angry? Just some foam-mouthed class warrior? Feh. Look at what is happening, look at where the money is going, and from where it comes. Look at how where the power lies within the structure, and notice too how it grows evermore concentrated.

There is no class war. It is over. We didn't win. And far too many are STILL too fucking stupid to realize it.
