    1. Till they developed algorithms and social media to make the plebs worship the barons and believe they became their rulers through divinity and intelligence.

    2. If you think shit is bad today look at the Gilded Age man. The wealth disparity and lack of any worker rights makes today seem like a Marxist paradise lmao.

      Imagine getting paid for your 16 hour shift in the coal mine with Monopoly money and if you complain you are shot to death by federal agents.

      Actually the factory workers hated the farmers and persecuted them.  They resented them for owning land.

      The history of 20th century was basically like:

      Powerful people tried to exploit powerless people.

      Powerless people started to fight.

      Some powerless people won and became powerful people.

      Repeat, while killing tens of millions people.

      Except in Anglophone countries, in which prominent members of the socialist movements spoke of being surrounded by the Robber Barons’ middle-aged children who thought they’d be central planning or that an entry-level hobby job was the same as a working class career. 

      Meanwhile, the rest of the population sorted themselves by the old mercantile/agricultural/new addition industrial rivalry.

      Immigrants, farmers and factory workers have never gotten along.

      And that you mention immigrants makes me think you’re either a deluded commie, or a bot.
