Perception is all-if folk feel they will benefit
from an equal apportionment of resources,they will support such
If they intuit that a few profit via bending the rules
they withdraw from the prevailing consensus
Myths of meritocracy clash with market realities-
offshored jobs,worker displacements,insecurity of tenure
all contribute to a lessening of loyalties to the system
Reality is 1%,mythology 99%. Allegiance to ideologies
relies more upon coercion rather than seduction,unless and until
tangible benefits flow from the barrel of a gun.
Revolutions are rare,corruption everywhere-why is it
folk do not rise up against oppressions,and "by opposing,end them"?
Is it because we are invested in the myth of participation via elections?
profit sharing via stock markets?dividends as bait and switch?
Burned by stock markets,low interest rates,low dollar value and no jobs
why is there no Revolution?Is it because we still believe in Horatio Alger?
