I have been trying to mention this trend to people as much as possible when they bring up issue X. A divided populace is easier to control, and here we are with various "culture war" topics constantly on the news, more and more fear mongering etc etc. But for every divisive cultural issue, there's a group of rich people who stand to gain, in one way or another, from the division itself and the fact that it keeps us (the poor-er majority) from solving real problems.

The fact is, if we fix the wealth inequality problem we fix a lot of others, and we would also be able to focus our collective energy appropriately at the others which may not naturally fall away.

That's not to say we shouldn't focus on anything -- but our best bet for a livable future is to start eating the rich now.
