So there you go, all the “good people” at the occupy protests blaming the 1% richest for owning too much and leaving them without opportunities.
Sounds fair doesn’t it?
Let’s think about it: What Adolf Hitler did was convincing all the people suffering without jobs that the Jews were to blame for that. Brazil’s former president, Lula, blamed “the blue-eyed bankers from the north hemisphere” for the economic crisis of 2008. And the Occupy movement simply blame anyone who’s rich. What’s next? Another war? Socialism all over again?
They are all equally unfair because you can’t just generalize people that way. Not all rich are evil, just as not all blue-eye people and, god, definitely not all Jews are evil either. I’d hope most of these people are actually good willed. “Good”, “evil”, such ridiculous concepts created mostly by Churches in an attempt to segregate people who don’t obey. Good and evil are relative, subjective terms and can’t possibly be used seriously by anyone.
I haven’t seen a single protester of the Occupy movement actually blaming himself as being part of the problem. Nobody said: “Well, actually we have chosen the politicians who caused this mess. We spent beyond our means. We didn’t care about education, about lowering our life quality so we can achieve a sustainable development. We didn’t discuss the consequences of work force automation on the society. Actually, we are all responsible for what is happening”.
Very few human beings (from my experience) are able to look at themselves and recognize they are all part of the problem. It’s too painful. Let’s blame others, let’s blame all the 1% richest, no matter how much many of them do for the society. Let’s ignore that some of them have donated most of what they own and dedicate their lives to help changing the world. They must be all evil, that’s an easy way of thinking, right? The pattern of our irrational behavior is painfully predictable. We could see this happening from years ago. And the hate will get worse.
Let’s try socialism all over again, after all, it works, right? Every attempt to run a socialist country just went so well, people had so much freedom, social differences just disappeared, right?
I honestly hope the occupy movement doesn’t represent the majority of the people in this planet, because if it does, we are way too damn stupid.
