I certainly see the illusion. Having been to some of the world outside my own country, I can see that there are plenty of billions of people hungry
and it's getting worse by the minute. I can see that the whole World Economy is about to collapse. I can see that the "bad ole days" are just
around the corner.
Plus, there were plenty of civilizations that didn't have the 1 percent owning everything. Doesn't mean it was the best lifestyle ever, but the
life of the average Native American vs. the Average European was obviously not nearly what you're saying.
So in places where "civilization" rules, the rich take everything. They gave some back for a while to pacify the people, and now they're gonna
take it all back again. So.
What are you talking about?
Did peasants have it hard? Yes indeed. Have lots of people been ruled by tyrants? Yes indeed.
That they wear suits and lie better now, don't let that fool you.
