I was finalizing my comment when it suddenly disappeared ... here another try.

My big picture has some differences with yours, for more details see my site https://thepredatorsversusthepeople.substack.com/ and my "predator theory of history" https://thepredatorsversusthepeople.substack.com/p/chapter-a81-the-predator-theory-of

In Europe, there was no middle class under feudalism, where the churchand aristocracy ruled over the serfs, in a two tier society. That changed about 500 years ago, when the merchants of Genoa and Venice - who became bankers and joined with Jews banned from Spain - decided to start their global domination project (the first with the Americas included). Their lever was pooled mobile capital, which enabled them to finance the voyages of discovery and colonization, and the many wars and revolutions to bring the world under control (the aristocracy could not pool capital, as it was mostly real estate, so they could only grow in an organic way). Early on, their main proxies were the upcoming nations states in Europe, by now all nations states are captured (including Russia, China, Iran, North Korea).

They allowed the - temporary - development of a middle class, as convenient suppliers for their many projects. They also set up central banking systems in the countries they captured to be their proxies (Holland in 1608, England in 1694, now everywhere). All behind the facade of pseudo democracy (Bill of Rights, etc). Thanks to the lever of their capital, the industrial and later the technological revolution also became possible. The West - and its middle class - has now completed its tasks and is being discarded, as a disposable item. If they get their way, all small and medium businesses will be eradicated, and we will become fully dependent on what I call Glafia’s big corporations. This is proof that the middle class never was part of THEY, they were just - disposable - proxies. It now convenes them to bring us back to a two tiered society of Haves All and Haves Nots. The same applies of course to our "democracies", a centuries during confidence game that is now being finalized.

China (and its helper Russia) have been prepared for more than a century to be the new hegemons in this project (after Spain, Holland, England, the USA). All under the beautiful multipolar narrative of respect and sovereignty.

The enormous and convoluted decentralized proxy system they created over the centuries is now being overhauled, to be substituted by a centralized technological control system (Digital Prison or Gulag).

With regards to who “they” is, I like to keep it simple: look upon THEY as an acronym … The Hierarchy Enslaving You. Eazy peazy.

You never disappoint my quote hound. Here are a few gems he retrieved...

“The intellectual Left was fooled into thinking class didn’t matter anymore; that the class war was over. It was in fact merely entering a new phase. At precisely the moment the intellectual Left should have doubled down, it sold out.”

“To the Pharma executive, a sick individual from birth is a lifelong revenue stream. To the ruling class, a sick person is an extinguished threat to its control matrix. This warped value system is the norm and not the exception, because The System serves the psychopaths who run it at the expense of everyone else.”

“...aspiring to be middle class is an identity crisis welcomed by the ruling class because you’re psychologically trying to punch down and brown-nose up.”

“Wearing a middle class badge does not change the fact that you are still a slave on the Plantation. But there are advantages to being a butler in the Big House as opposed to picking cotton in the field.”

“Cultural brainwashing is the foundation of the plutocracy.”

“Not asking questions is the oil that keeps the ruling class engine purring smoothly.”

“Smashing the class barriers by simply pretending they didn’t exist anymore was the thin gruel offered to compensate for offshoring real jobs to China and anyone else who wanted them.”

“There is clearly something about not doing real work that rusts the soul.”

“A university educated person who believes cows must be prevented from farting in order to save mankind from catastrophe is not a serious person, and therefore cannot be relied on to perform serious, real work.”

“Recognising that macroeconomic shifts beyond our control have forced many of us into work that is not real does not preclude a willingness and ability to ally with people doing real jobs against the parasites in the ruling class and the incorrigible section of the PMC.”
