George Carlin sums up the purpose for divisiveness and class structure (VIDEO)

January 22, 2016 By Egberto Willies

Sorry, there was a YouTube error.

George Carlin hits the nail on the head

George Carlin was a comedian who got it. He understood the plutocracy and brought these truths in comedy. This particular piece on how the class structure is segmented for control using the divide and conquer methodology is great. It is one of his cleaner skits, only two ‘bad words.’

Divide and conquer is just one technique used by the plutocracy. Another is the Bread and Circus technique. Keep the masses marginally fed and satisfied with cheap food and entertain them. Today we have cheap sugar, high fructose corn syrup, cheap food, corn, and cheap entertainment, reality TV. Is there any question then why a large number in the country are disengaged? I love this Move to Amend skit that gives perspective to the Bread and Circus technique which currently allows our corporations to do as they darn well please in the aggregate.

Understanding what is being to us right under our own noses is important. When enough do, like a virus that becomes immune to an overused drug, the population will become immune to the cohersion.


Text of George Carlin’s snippet

They keep the lower and middle classes fighting each other. Now to balance the scale I’d like to talk about the things that bring us together.

Things that point out our similarities instead of our differences. Because that is all you ever hear about in this country is our differences. That’s all the media and the politicians are ever talking about, the things that separate us, things that make us different from one another. That’s the way the ruling class operates in any society.

They try to divide the rest of the people. They keep the low and the middle classes fighting with each other so that they, the rich can run off with all the f*cking money. Fairly simple thing, happens to work. You know anything different, that is what they are going to talk about, race, religion, ethnic, and national background, jobs, income, education, social status, sexuality, anything you can do – keep us fighting with each other so that they can keep going to the bank.

You know how describe the economic and social classes in this country? The upper class keep all of the money, pays none of the taxes. The middle-class pays all of the taxes, does all the work. The poor are there just to scare the sh*t out of the middle-class.
