The average American is being squeezed, with the upper jaw of the vise being big money One Worlders funding the lower jaw of the vise, the street, campus, and racist radicals. Pressure from above and pressure from below.

To: liberalism is suicide

America has been a historical anomaly. For most of civilized human history, there has been the hereditary elite ruling class, probably less than 1% of the population. Beneath them were the 10% who were educated and ran the higher affairs of state for the elite ruling class. They were the merchants who ran the commerce and the “scribes” or bureaucrats who ran the affairs of state. Beneath them were the ignorant peasantry; tiller of soil and cannon fodder for armies.

America was the anomaly because while we had our 1% ruling class, it was not exclusively hereditary, and the 10$ was really about 80%.

The anomaly is ending. The middle class is being squeezed out of existence, and in a generation it will be gone. The current millenials don’t realize it, but they are in a competition to see who makes it into the 10%. Well, given the complexity of modern society, it will probably be around 20%. But if you don’t make it into the 20%, you will fall into the pit of being a peasant, from which there will be no escape.

By the way, the 20% will be totally beholden and subservient to the elite rulers to maintain their position of relative comfort.
