Top vs bottom not left versus right. Don't let the oligarchs divide us.
How are those different?
They're very different.
There's only about 3k billionaires on Earth. There's only about 30k 100 million plus inaires on Earth.
These are sociopaths sucking humanity dry and ending the habitability of this planet permanently for ego, short term profit, and mega yachts.
Focus your ire on them. Focus your antagonism on them. Not their poor, deluded, propandized, gullible useful idiots that diefy them. Pity them.
The true enemies that must be dealt with only number in the hundreds of thousands relative to our 300 million. We know where to find them. They suck each other off in places like Wall Street and Malibu, orchestrating new and interesting ways to murder us to goose quarterly profits.
That's entirely leftist. How does "bottom" differ?
Given this is a primarily American sub, the audience must be played to.
The audience being Americans, they almosy entirely consider our slightly less fascist right wing party, the Democrats, to be our "left."
And if right/left is subjective to the spectrum of a nation, I guess the Neoliberals are since they aren't actively for death camps for minorities, which is technically left of the Republicans. Technically.
The United States had any conception of an economic left beaten out of it ever since FDR left office. Leftist policies are spoken about like voldemort as a result.
It makes more sense not to try to rehab a century of propaganda and call it up vs down. Plus Americans are poorly educated by design to be compliant laborers. Up vs down is a simpler concept, for simpler people, than left vs right.
