“the rich were kept in power by the connivance of the educated classes, who encouraged the People to vote into office the lickspittle frontmen of the Elite who would make promises they had no intention of keeping and assure the People that their votes would bring better times and a more honest and equitable society.”
So Shall You Reap, Donna Leon
Hope for those without hope is the ultimate drug. Humans with little or next to nothing often fall prey to the promises of those who aim to keep them in their place. Some things don’t change and won’t change, only the tools used to convey those lies change – from high priests and mass media to social networks and artificial intelligence.
