The Rigged Race of Life

It takes a fool to participate in a race he cannot win, a race which he is guaranteed to lose. The race of life is designed to ensure you fail ... unless you belong to the privileged elite. This is a race in which it is not the fastest runners who win, but those who, thanks to inheritance, are brazenly, arrogantly and obnoxiously placed right in front of the finishing line. They need only take a step to win. They could fall over and still win. It takes a fool all right to support this mad game, and that's exactly what the system produces: fools in their countless legions, all of whom believe themselves inside dopesters who know it all. They are the foot soldiers of the Dumbocracy, the Idiocracy, the Moronarchy. They are all slavish followers of Freedumb.

You have to hand it to them. The 1% have done an astounding job of controlling the 99% and making the masses bow to them and serve them at all times. The 99% dream of being the 1%. That's their ultimate aspiration. That's the "American Dream". Those who dream of being part of the rich elite will never revolt against the rich elite, even when that's the only way to free themselves. Tellingly, Herbert Marcuse wrote, "At the highest stage of capitalism, the most necessary revolution appears as the most unlikely one."

The 1% have constructed an entirely false consciousness in the masses. They have made the masses adopt the 1%'s values and outlook, and thus the 99% have no real desire to get rid of the 1%. If they did, the 1% would already be gone.

And so the 99% will keep on losing in the rigged race of life, and keep blaming everyone other than those who have rigged the race … the 1%.
