MODERATORS
We are learning as a species that public relations (messaging, propaganda, whatever) is effective, and when the ownership class can put trillions into controlling the masses, it works.
I'd like to think there's a counter for it, but the worker class seems to be willing to suffer a lot of misery so long as someone else is suffering more than they are.
