At the same time, it also triggered the contradiction between black and white... To be honest, the anti-dragon slaying technique of the United States is indeed conducive to rule, but it is not conducive to integration and unity!
They subdivide the crowd into countless groups step by step according to differences, and even artificially create conflicts between these groups. This will save the cost of governance in a sense... After all, it is necessary to appease an entire class and appease a part of the population.
The cost is simply different.
The ruling class in the United States is only the one percent! They occupy 40% of social wealth!
And this one percent rules the remaining ninety-nine percent!
The three-dimensional structure of American social classes: slave owners, free people, and slaves.
Although people have a consensus about civilized society, they believe that slavery no longer exists in modern times. In fact, slavery has never left human society, but in different civilizations, the manifestations of slavery will be different. In
During the period of agricultural civilization, the form of slaves was serfs. During the period of industrial civilization, the form of slaves was worker slaves. In the period of post-industrial civilization, the form of slaves was vote slaves.
American democracy is the use of justice, media, state machinery, ideological shaping, and mental control to control and manipulate the vast majority of the population in a post-industrial civilized society. This is an upgraded new type of slave.
System. Most people look at the United States as if they were standing on the street and looking up at a skyscraper. They just see its beautiful and neat appearance.
The curtain wall is so majestic and majestic, but I know nothing about the internal structure of this skyscraper. To truly understand the United States, you must enter its interior and analyze the power of American society. Only then can you see through the essence of the United States.
Instead of just seeing the curtain wall appearance it deliberately presents to people. Why can a skyscraper stand without collapsing? Because there are
The internal structure is supporting it, not the curtain wall. Why does a country rise? Why does it not perish now? When will it perish in the future? What supports all of this? It is the power structure. The power of a country
Structure, to this country, is like the structural support inside a skyscraper. The consciousness of democracy
Form is the appearance of the curtain wall of the American skyscraper. In fact, what supports the operation of American society is another set of internal structures: power. It is very naive to do political analysis by looking only at ideology, just like a
Students majoring in architecture have only learned the knowledge of facade decoration and know nothing about engineering or mechanics, so they just design skyscrapers.
Many people who study American politics start from the ideological point of view and believe that what shapes the power structure and system of American society is a kind of pluralist determinism. In layman's terms, pluralists believe that the power structure of American society is discrete.
It is decentralized, declassified, and is composed of all Americans colliding and competing with each other like a Brownian movement, ultimately forming the American
National policies and national will ultimately reflect the interests and aspirations of all Americans. Pluralists see the United States just like tourists on the street who understand skyscrapers only through the curtain walls of their facades. They see the United States.
What they did was only an analysis of the phenomena of American society, not an analysis of the power structure. Therefore, their cognitions, conclusions, and analytical methods are quite superficial and wrong.
From the 18th century to the present, the proportion of total social wealth occupied by the richest 1% of the population in American society has been a relatively stable value: about 40%. This proportion has been fluctuating around 40%.
In the lowest period, it will reach about 35%. In the highest period, which is now, it may have exceeded 50%. 1% of the upper-class elites rule the United States. This is the first basic fact about American society and power analysis.
.
So, who make up the 1% richest people? In this class, 95% are white men, 3%-4% are black, and about 1% are Asian. If we look at gender,
The proportion of women is only about 5%. Judging from the structure of assets held by this class,
Look, almost all of them are chain directors of the top 1% of large companies in the United States. This class is intertwined with each other to form a corporate community. The large corporate community is the highest class in the United States, the heart of power where big capitalists rule and control the American economy and society.
power, class, ethnicity,
In these five dimensions, enterprises and wealth, and the 1% of American society, are amazingly superimposed. This is the second basic fact about the analysis of power in American society. This elite community is the slave of American society.
Main class. Top 20% of wealth distribution in American society
People who account for more than 85% of the total social wealth, and the current data have exceeded 90%. This class, excluding the top slave owners, constitutes the free class of American society. They are
There are property owners, but they have not yet entered the slave-owning class.
The wealth of the remaining 80% of the low-income population may now account for less than 10% of the total wealth of American society. They belong to the slave class of American society. This is the panoramic view of American society: 3 million slave owners,
There are 60 million free people and 250 million slaves, which are the garbage population in the eyes of slave owners. If you have a deep understanding of American society, you will be very confused by the general ignorance of Americans. They are the most developed country in the world. It stands to reason
,Americans should all be very smart,
How come many of their citizens don’t even have the most basic common sense? For example, more than 100 million Americans sincerely believe that virgins can become pregnant and believe that angels really exist. The United States is the largest population in the world that believes in the existence of angels.
The country with the most. In fact, most Americans are not smart. What really drives the train of the American empire is its locomotive, which is only the smartest 3 million people. The 3 million elites are dragging 200 million people with them.
The garbage population is advancing. This is the third basic fact in the analysis of power in American society.
There are also divisions among the slave-owning class. The core of this group are British and German. The reason why a few black people can enter the highest class is because they serve as general managers for this core layer to manage the huge
The black population. The slave plantation society in the South has always had this tradition, with black generals managing black slaves. From this core, Irish and Italians are the periphery. Why was Kennedy assassinated?
, because the outside cannot be used as the main wife
If you want to join the core club of slave owners, on the one hand, the Irish are politically incorrect because they are Celtic and not Germanic. On the other hand, the Irish believe in Catholicism, while the English Puritans in the United States are not related to Catholicism.
An sworn hatred. Third, the British discriminate against the Irish more than they discriminate against blacks. Although they are white, they are dirty, crazy and violent. They were all serfs of the British before. How could serfs do this?
Turn over and become a slave owner.
Of course, this differentiation is not entirely beneficial.
There are also disadvantages.
That is, there is no consensus that everyone can accept... It is natural that the United States is strong. After all, as long as we stay in this large group, everyone will have a cake to share. It is just a matter of how much.
But with the fall of American hegemony and the cake getting smaller and smaller, this differentiation has become fatal.
When the benefits sought from the outside become less and less, then the inside will naturally begin to involuntarily begin!
This is the objective law of the development of things.
But the problem is that the hegemony of the United States fell suddenly. It was not a long-term process, but one major event after another led to a sudden decline in the strength of the United States. It was even more sudden than the stock market.
No one is prepared for this... In fact, if someone suddenly travels back a few years ago and tells the Americans that they will lose their dominance in a few years, everyone will think that he is a madman... After all, it comes too suddenly.
.
In fact, there were signs of the decline of the United States' hegemony before, but they were only signs. According to general rules, it would take at least several decades for the United States to really fall from its hegemonic position.
But reality is always stranger than fiction.
Because fiction requires logic, reality does not.
American hegemony is gone.
No one was prepared for this, so this involution caught everyone off guard.
Many people don't even have the most basic psychological construction.
So the contradiction becomes even greater.
Just a few years ago, although everyone was at the bottom, in many cases, life was still decent. Even if you didn't work, you had subsidies and benefits.
But as the situation changes, the United States itself has to drastically cut benefits.
Although policies to stimulate the economy have also been implemented simultaneously, and many more jobs have been created in the United States, the problem is that many people's own concepts have not changed. For example, black people.
There are roughly two living conditions for black people at the bottom. One is poor people who work hard but have no education and can only do low-level manual labor (dishwasher, waiter, salesperson...), and their annual income is usually less than 20,000 US dollars.
The other type is the self-destructive poor who live solely on government subsidies. Most of them have never worked in their lives. They have lived in government housing with their parents since they were young. When they grow up, they apply for disability identification (mental illness, depression, etc.) and deceive the government.
Subsidy. Food and accommodation depend entirely on government housing and food coupons.
Many people think that the United States is not a welfare state... This is actually a wrong idea. The United States has welfare, but it is far behind compared to the welfare of the Nordic countries. But it is not bad, first of all, housing. First.
Look at a set of data from 2005: 46% of poor households own property
, the average house owned by a typical poor household has three bedrooms, a garage, and a balcony. Yes, this data from more than ten years ago shows that nearly half of the poor in the United States own their own house. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a house, the government will
The provision of housing subsidy stipulates that the rent of the poor cannot exceed 30% of their income.
, that is to say, if your salary is 1,000 US dollars per month, then the room fee you need to pay is 300 US dollars, and the government will pay the remaining 70%. If your income is 0, you can live for free in some places. This part
Government-subsidized houses are called government houses. There are many of them and they are the best in urban areas.
The location is relatively large, with free water, electricity, heating, and a washing machine and dryer. But not everyone can live in government housing because there are too many people who want to live in it, so they have to wait in line. As for the waiting period,
You can only decide where to live by yourself. If you can really take care of the place, you can just live in an aid station.
Then look at life. Look at a set of public data also from 2005: 7% of poor households have one color TV at home, 50% have two or more color TVs; 76% have air conditioning; 75% have a car; 30
% have two cars; 73% have a microwave; 62% have cable TV; 33% have a dishwasher. Therefore, overall, the lives of the poor in the United States are not poor in our traditional sense. There is a "camp" in the United States
As long as the annual income is less than 130% of the poverty line, you can apply for subsidies. Usually a family of four can receive up to US$649 per month. If there are children in the family who go to school, breakfast and breakfast in primary and secondary schools
Lunch is free for poor children. In addition, there is a place called Foodbank that provides free bread, milk, meat, fruits, vegetables, desserts...poor people can take it for free.
So this has created a large number of lazy people... There is no way, many black people can live without working (but they cannot live too well, just hang out).
But as the economic situation changes, many benefits have been cut!
Fortunately for those who work hard, there is no shortage of jobs after all, even if they work in a factory to make screws.
But the problem is that many of them are not willing to work, and those low-level jobs are very tiring! Expecting these people to work...thinking too much!
They don't work and their benefits are cut.
One can only imagine how angry they will be.
So after the Black and White War broke out in Chicago, similar conflicts occurred across the United States.
But unfortunately, all the superheroes disappeared at this moment.
There is no way, superheroes have no way to intervene in this kind of thing. After all, it has escalated to a racial conflict. Superheroes will be in trouble no matter whether they take sides or not. It is better to disappear altogether.
For a moment, America actually felt like it was in turmoil.
Take jujube pills!
Of course, this is actually just a small problem for the ruling class...really, just a small problem. Because there is no elite class among these people!
The black elites have long been bribed. The previously surging Black Lives Matter movement itself had a large number of black elites participating, but this time, there are only blacks at the bottom. They have no organization, no program, and no goals.
There were only a few slogans, and most people just took advantage of the chaos to smash, smash, and rob... a pure mob.
This is also what was said above. There is no unified consensus at the bottom. They are divided among themselves and have not pointed the finger at their real enemies. So the harm caused is just that.
If it were in the past, everyone would still hate these black people.
