Neofeudalism
I like this term. Saw some people talking about the current state of politics in the United States and somebody tossed out this word as an aside. Personally I think it fits perfectly.
Starting with the government punishing people for being teachers. Wages frozen, benefits yanked away, more students crammed into the classroom. Now with the current battle over the budget even more funding will be cut from our education system. Why would anybody want to become a teacher in an environment like that? Why would the government seem to let this happen?
They don't want an educated lower class. It's almost like a drive back to the middle ages where only the church/government families had access to higher education. The more ignorant the lower class is the easier they are manipulate and the less chance of there being some 'competition' from them come election day.
Let's see. Step one start eliminating the middle class. Step two stay in a continuous state of warfare. Step three further segregate the lower class from the upper class by removing educational services. Step four is win. Or something like that.
Keep us poor, keep us stupid, keep us just healthy enough to work.
Musing and articles from Peter Amthor. Usually of a role playing game influence but I do drift into other directions occasionally. You can also find me on twitter at @TrulyRural or on MeWe where I simply go by Peter Amthor as well. Comments and constructive criticism welcome.
Absolutely. The people in power think we are too stupid to run our own lives, just listen to some of the crap our senators spout. Congress passed a bill and the Speaker of the House at the time stated we had to pass it to know what was in it, the current PotUS is a narcissist who only cares about being in power. I've said it for how many years...at least 2 decades, we need to fire them all and put normal people in office, not these rich elitists.
