28. The FIRST rule...

... of a hostile takeover is: CONTROL THE MESSAGE. Which means, control all major news sources. Crush the little ones later, by drying up their funding. That's why the billionaires bought up all the newspapers, TV and radio stations, and let bags of rat excrement, like Rupert Murdoch and Alex Jones, poison weak minds with malicious drivel. And let us not forget the Evangenitals! They take mindless malice to new heights. Or is it depths?
The wealthy have ALWAYS hated democracy. Oh, they mouth the words when it suits their purposes, but when the bullet hits the bone, it's all about power, which is just shorthand for TOTAL DOMINION OVER THE LIVES OF OTHERS. The word, "dominion" covers a lot, but it especially covers the total subjugation of WOMEN first. That's the quickest way to get the ugly little incels out of mommy's basement and supporting the Dark Side by doing their bidding; attack the demographic that the overweight, oatmeal-faced dweebs resent the most. Those cretins are too busy feeling sorry for themselves to realize that their subjugation is also high on the fascist's to-do list.
CONTROL THE WORKFORCE. Why do you think health insurance is tightly tied to your place of employment? I can't count the number of times I've heard, "I only stay here for the insurance".
MAKE SURE THE PASTY-FACED WHITE BOYS HAVE SOMEONE TO LOOK DOWN ON. Gays, Trans, Immigrants, Hispanic people, Indians, Asians, and especially BLACK PEOPLE! If the dweebs are all wound up hatin' on the wrong people, they're not paying attention to the fact that the rich are robbing them blind by getting their pet Republicans to give them even more tax breaks they don't need or deserve, and making those sorry-ass dweebs pay for it all.
But in the end, the oligarchs never learn: Sooner or later, they ALWAYS lose. BIG time. Images of guillotines dance through my head.

Yeah, we've heard it all before, but I just had to vent my spleen. I really hate these fuckers.
