18. It's not about conservatives or neocons
It's not about liberals vs. conservatives, Republicans vs. Democrats, gay vs. straight, Christians vs. non-Christians, black vs. white, hard working vs. whatever the opposite of that is, college educated vs. uneducated.

It's about them -- the corporations (non human persons) -- vs. the rest of us. Everything else is just an artificial division designed to keep us at each other's throats.

I don't care whether you went to college and wear a white shirt to work, or didn't go to college and wear a blue shirt to work. It doesn't matter what the color of your skin is or who you love. And it doesn't matter what your spiritual beliefs are. The corporations are out to enslave you as just "input" for their profit-making schemes.

Even those who consider themselves among the "elite" are expendable -- and will be spit out in a heartbeat if they cease to feed to corporate need for more profit.

The biggest fear of the corporatocracy is that we all one day discover the commonality we have. This is why the corporate media has to work overtime to keep driving in wedges and splintering us into a thousand different constituencies. If we all one day realize that we have more in common than not, the game is over. I just hope that when that day comes, it isn't too late.
