Re: Business, Economics & Tax Policy 5.0: Can a blind nut find a squirrel?
A deliberate program of obfuscation lasting 50 years, putting the right books into public libraries, financing the right think tanks pushing out "studies" and guidance for political organizers, employing the right pundits on Tee Vee, and screaming like a stuck pig whenever anybody has the temerity to suggest this is all just a 1% Newspeak program to literally remove concepts from people's imagination.
The 1% was actually eroded a tiny bit from the 1930s through the 1970s, and they've been busy making sure that will never happen again. Their mistake through the 1920s was to inculcate their ideology only in the children of the rich. They didn't account for democratic processes like voting. So their next plan was to plant these thought-terminating cliches in the minds of millions of middle class and poor voters.
Sic honestly believes he's being fair. He's not rich, he's not doing this for himself, he's doing it for the same reason we're supporting our priorities -- he thinks it's right.
That is the great ideological victory of the 1% for the last two generations. They have fooled Sic, a decent and smart person.
The only way to stop that is to keep chipping away at the programming, keeping speaking the truth. I believe in people like Sic. In the long run I believe smart and good people will suss out the bullsh-t, taste the bit in their mouth, and spit it out.
