I agree with everything but this. This is exactly why the propaganda machine for ages (fairytales) have put royalty/nobles at the top. e.g. It's the knight who kills the dragon, not the townsfolk who band together. Or that magical talent is somehow always hereditary. Or that the king

No, don't blame the working peoples. The countries where the working class got rid of royalty and are consistently demonized.

If they’d demand higher wages and healthcare collectively or force austerity on the stock market, they’d have those things. It works for teachers unions, and the like when they strike.

But like you said, we demonize working people instead of empowering them, for a reason.

The goal isn’t perfect mind control, but to avoid thinking in alternatives and enabling the self made nonsense. Convincing everyone they’re temporarily embarrassed millionaires. Implant reasons to ignore alternatives and hammer on them; it’s not how it works for tradition, for country… one reason after another why we can’t politically just be decent.

It works not because people are lazy but mirror neurons. Biology. The public must be the one to do different so the public sees itself do different. Knows different is doable.

Relativity has some deep network effects we don’t often think about. We can’t experience otherwise doing the same all day.

You think it's propaganda that professional soldiers have a better shot at killing a mythical creature than a peasant militia?

I'd like to examine the principle from another angle, with the following question.

Regarding US voters who reelect pols that legislate in response to major campaign donations: How much responsibility do those voters have for legislative corruption?
