caveat about “low”! low in the eyes of the highs.
no protest had ever, as far as i know, even deterred a war let alone delayed or stopped, once it’s under way.
this is in toto controled by the uncle.

let’s please do away with dysphemistic label “ignorance” that some people use to incorrectly depict reality.
noone is ignorant. USans are people; thus, feel/behave/think just like russians, indians, turkmen, chinese, et al

US, because its wealth, was able to use it to delude amers. nazis have done that to possibly 90% of germans.
italy has done that to italians.
and all peoples i know of have over millennia gone thru this.

it’s important not think of amers as a separate specie; light onto the world; the noblest, etc.

The ruling class controls virtually everything in the society – from the justice system to the educational system to the economic system. The reach of the ruling class can NEVER be escaped from, no matter how one might immerse themselves into TV (corporate-controlled), video games (corporate-controlled), or sporting events (likewise). Someone who resists the ruling class is an outcast, an outlaw, not only outside the mainstream but fundamentally outside society itself.

Given the choice, a large majority of Americans choose to align themselves with, or at least politely acquiesce to, the ruling class.

Too many people believe that resisting the ruling class is a mere matter of a political position, or speaking the right words, or holding a sign up and marching through a street. That does nothing in and of itself. Only when that is part of a larger personal movement in oneself (and parallel social movement in society), part of a process of *becoming* that outcast, is that valuable.

If this is not recognized, then all that will happen with this “change in language” is different words spoken, without any changes to the *structures* of social reality. The people who speak the different words can congratulate themselves on their “hipness” and “political awareness” and life will go on like always.
