Getting indoctrinated that "I am the 99%" and festering anger towards "the 1%" is, in fact, very unproductive and a waste of time and energy especially since so-called rich people don't generally deserve any of that nonsense.
I have a lot more life experience now. If I'm going to fester anger against anyone now, it's the media (mainstream, social, et al.) and relevant powers-that-be for taking me on that ride and continuing to try and take me on more.

- Dalewyn 3y agoCertain, specific individuals to whom broad labels like "rich people" and "1%" don't apply in any useful manner. To put it another way, there's a reason naive, useful idiots like myself were (and are) led to harbor anger against "rich people" and "1%". That reason does not serve to benefit the commons like you and me, nor the so-called "rich"/"1%" people.
