Is there a big super fatcat at the top ruling over us and dangling us as puppets over the stage? It’s a thought I’ve had since I was very young. I remember watching “The man who owns the world” at the age of 7 and asking my Mum,
“Mum? Who owns the world? Does that mean he’s rich?”
It seems a conceivable thought as a seven year old that is used to working in a classroom with only one boss, the Teacher. So I guess that would apply to my wider surroundings too. At least in my way of thinking.
I don’t really think there’s one person that rules the world now, or even a group of people. I think the world that we live in is far, far too complex to have a ruling body of 10 fat men in suits sitting around a table in a stuffy room smoking their Cubans. If I know anything about business and psychology is that forces out with our control are far too severe for such a small band of people.
There seems to be a massive swing to the right in Politics than I’m not liking. What was once more centrist is viewed now as left-wing. The centre stage in my opinion has moved far to the right. And with this swing it has caused a massive uproar in equality and a redistribution of wealth to those in power. Perhaps that’s a better idea.
“Those in power”
Those in power are the people that rule the world right now. And what do I mean by that? Well, anyone with a significant amount of weight behind them to influence the decisions of others. It could be a Politician, or an inventor, or someone with massive stacks of cash, or a singer with a keen interest in Politics. And even those people can be influenced.
Perhaps when you think about it you could say those that finance the decision making process are the ones that hold the keys. To rig an election, or to blanket propaganda an entire nation takes an unfathomable amount of resources. Yet there will be someone at the top with the cash flow to finance the process.
But let’s not forget the little people. The middlemen. The people that keep their mouths shut and do the bidding of their paymasters. The people that bend the rules of law to see the correct procedures are put into place. These people also have an agenda. These people also have a goal that they are working to which might not directly coincide with those at the top. And this is why I say 10 people are not enough to rule the world.
Me? I’m more of a community person. I like to see everyone doing well. I think everyone should aspire to meet their worth, but I don’t agree that someone should make 45 Million an hour or so. That in itself is just psychopathy when there’s people on the streets who can’t afford a hot meal, never mind somewhere dry and roofed to sleep.
So much inequality. I want to fix it allll lol.
