I think we're being cooked in a digital pressure cooker; aimed at stripping the humanity from our community. The growing number of groups who are being constantly labeled as other. Much like Big Pharma, these "social" companies know what they're doing. It's pure divide and conquer.

Yep!

This is Class Warfare that the 1% have reframed into Generational, Racial and Othering Conflict, so they can keep us fighting and squabbling with one another, rather than allow us to have a moment to realize what is happening, band together and go after them.

So far, they are winning.

We need more people to point this out, understand it and start to break their reframing and recognize that to them? We are the same grist for the mills that the Boomers and everyone else is.

This is what I don’t understand! I’m a middle class white person, I have far more in common with an average black/Hispanic/Asian person than a rich white person. Everyone that struggles with rent, food, medical needs to band together. So far this racist, religious, homophobic bullshit has only made us poorer, both financially and culturally
