“As life’s cruel realities slowly peeled the scales from my bleeding eyes, I began realizing that many such propaganda machines, despite their eternal claims of uplifting ‘the people’ in a noble fight against ‘the elite,’ were themselves the organs of a certain class of astronomically well-heeled elites. They didn’t represent all of the elite, mind you—only a weird segment that seemed to exist in a perpetual state of denial about their own elite status. My disappointment mutated into a lingering resentment as it became clear that such elites’ showboating ‘populist’ efforts never really seemed to help the poor and the working class.”
