alt Hacker NewsAh yes. The “elites”. The invisible yet omnipresent, subtle yet ubiquitous, global cabal that no matter how fragmented and divided society gets, always speaks with one voice[0] and acts in seamless unison.
[0] It’s an endless source of fascination to me that it always seems to be non-elites that have the inside scoop on what the elites are thinking and deciding. I’d love to know where they get that insight if not from their own hyper-pattern-matching imagination.
This is absurd. When people refer to "the elites" as I did, they often mean a large group of people. They do NOT speak with one voice[0], nor do they act in seamless unison. It is a bit noteworthy then that governments worldwide seem intent on destroying the privacy of communications on the internet.
[0] People who are used to getting fucked by people higher up in the economic food chain are pretty used to seeing, with their own eyes, the actions "the elites" take. See, we get to live in the world they create. Whereas they get to live in a much, much nicer world, without rules or restrictions. To call the average person's lived experience "hyper-pattern-matching imagination" is just plainly being shitty.
