The problem with the Western middle class is they’ve been conditioned to think they’re part of the ruling class.
They believe that the ruling class’ successes are their own, until it’s time to get ready to go to work the next day.
They see themselves as above poor people and believe they’re entitled to more before those who have less.
They always believe the solution to their problems is to make more, not spend less.
The issue isn’t just capitalism. It’s not just greed. It’s a culture of consumerism. Hopefully anyone who has been around for a few decades can recognize how much the social landscape has changed in favor of encouraging people to sell themselves out as quickly as possible.

We are living in the most negative of peaces.
