    Zero idea what you’re on about, but the post is classic doublethink, breathlessly holding that the middle class* was simultaneously a fluke and that its existence was designed and carefully puppeteered for decades – so controlled that it can now be carefully dismantled. And of course the elites designed the fluke™ because without it, they would’ve folded under a communist revolution.

    * which is not even close to just 50 years old unless Friedrich Engels was talking about some other “English middle class”, but then I don’t think this author actually cares; they seemingly just pulled “50-year” out of a hat because it’s a nice, round number.

      This characterization is entirely in your head. Don’t delusion at me like it’s objective fact. There’s no way in hell you will or should be taken seriously. Get a grip.
