When we say "there are more of us than there are of them," what do we mean, exactly and what does it imply?
As a background: we are now leaving the most extreme summer ever, the climate catastrophe is killing a lot of people. Everything is too expensive. We are divided. De-sheltered people are being harassed and abused. Black people are still being murdered by cops. Car infrastructure reliance, profit-driven prisons and city planning, deforestation, and gentrification are keeping vulnerable populations in dire straits. Poverty, hunger, and slave labor is going strong.
In short: everything sucks, and if you spend literally 5 minutes following the money, you will find that billionaires are to blame.
Which is kind of stupid, considering there are SO FEW OF THEM. That's what we mean. These handful of individuals (something like 30 billionaires hold more wealth than the bottom 50% of the world's population) are essentially, not overly hyperbolic here, our masters.
> "You are a slave, Neo."
But I think we are finally waking up. The billionaires need us. We don't need them. We can take back everything they stole and build a people-over-profit, Star Trek-like future where no one goes hungry or shelter-less or without healthcare, where we are free to realize our potential.
Spread the word.
