Reply to comment by Significant-Bat-5310 in Shadows of Liberty (2012) - How media manipulation and censorship work. 90% plus of the media in the USA are controlled by five big for-profit-conglomerats, creating a media monopoly that manipulates our political, economical, and social world.

Most rich people are just lucky or smart enough to benefit from the skewed system, and not in control. The banking system and its gatekeepers, and the ultra rich, are in control.
The concept of class warfare is just a ploy to give the poor a scapegoat out of the rich, and turn them against each other as adversaries.
There IS class war, and my class is winning. - Warren Buffet.
Class war is real, and always has been. But, the media, which should be telling us a lot more about that, is owned by one of the warring sides.
So if I happen to get wealthy one way or another, I'll automatically become an adversary? Class war is just a way to turn the society against itself so the real elites can benefit. Divide and rule you know. Most rich people have nothing to do with media ownership, let alone of the huge internet platforms or biggest media outlets abroad that are the arbiter of what content other smaller media outlets propagate.
Smooth brain take.

Separating the rich from the bankers is like saying it's not the republicans or democrats, it's the politicians.

Why wouldn't you separate people like Usain Bolt or Al Pacino from the likes of Jeff Bezos, Saudi royal family or George Soros?

Because it is?

Because once you get into those echelons you're part of it. And less wealthy people often play a key role anyway. Much of the liberal intelligentsia functions to explain why it's right and good that we're under a bankers thumb.
There's no value in being too granular about wealth. Many people abuse workers while owning businesses worth a few mil.
Class war doesn't need to be this complicated.
And a lot of the political machine is made up of enthusiastic not very well off staffers and prospects for the higher echelons of political power. No need to point at only some of them. It's like how after the Ohio train crash people said don't just blame the ceo, learn the names of the shareholders and board members too.
