    Makes sense. The rich don’t try to prevent unionization and collective action purely out of spite.

      Not completely spite, there’s a good chunk of fear there too

      Rich people whisper in their private circles about all the times in the past the oppressed fight back, and spend a good chunk of their unethical wealth to prevent the common people from organizing

      It’s worked so well that they’ve turned us against each other over the basic right to have a livable wage.

          Source for me: The millionaires I’ve known. Even some making 6 digits. Now it’s echoed by those with 5 digits who think they’re rich.

            Yep, and I’m working on ways to prey on that fear

          History and direct experience. I’ll assume you’ve never actually dealt with the exceptionally wealthy

          Why do you think all the billionaires have been building emergency estates the last 15 years? Oh and I DO have a source for that
