A truth...
The fight shouldn’t be between left & right
It should be between the uber-wealthy who are sucking up the wealth vs the rest of us
That’s the real fight
And it scares oligarchs so much, they spend their money & time (e.g Musk) ensuring we fight eachother instead

Remember when the 1% idea was really taking off? It was just about then that the racism really started ramping up, along with every other societal schism ever devised.
It's just divide and rule, like it's always been.
Changing the conversation to a one based on values is the only way we'll bring most people back together.
99% of the world is working class.
If only we could put aside our small differences, get together and fight the real enemy who have caused all the problems. 👍
So I’m not sure it’s quite as simple as ‘left & right should just unite to fight rich folks!’🤷♀️

If I remember rightly, Occupy London at St Paul's Cathedral and the others around the world that were part of the Occupy Movement were against the 1%..
And it was just after that that the racism that society had been steadily flushing out of its system for many decades started to get pumped back in, along with all the other tried and trusted forms of division and a few newbies besides.
It's just divide and rule, same as ever.
It was really great.
But Populist and 'wedge' based politics followed, bootstrapped to big tech.
And here we are.
The plebs are fed propaganda by the wealthiest, they either buy it or they don’t. Those who buy it and those who don’t divide, very quickly.
Just imagine how much stronger we'd be together.

EU demanded USB-C on Apple devices.
What happened?
Apple capitulated.
We need a „USB-C“, moment in social media whereby the EI & UK are strong together.
