How they are getting away with it
How the 0.1% and their network convince us all to support policies and ideas that go against our own interests, but continue to make them more money and get them more power at our expense.
If we fully understood the extent to which we're screwed over by wealthy and powerful, we wouldn't support them or their actions. But these groups are experts at using tactics to manipulate us into going against our own interests to support them making more money at our expense.
​
They'll tell any lies they can, by using bad faith arguments to convince us that what's good for them is also good for us.
​
The elites use divide and conquer tactics to turn us against each other, distracting us from the real problems facing society. Politicians will change laws to undermine those who challenge them. Media personalities play the victim to attack those who want to change the status quo. The super rich will use laws that already exist to intimidate critics.
They can't get away with it if we don't fall for it
The 0.1% and their apologists will do anything to stop meaningful change. They will throw everything at the project of keeping us ignorant, distracted, and divided. We need to be educated on their ruthless tactics, which will only be ramped up as they feel more and more threatened.
​
This section goes into detail of these tactics, so you know what to look for when they are used by politicians and media figures. These lies and manipulation tactics won't work if you see them for what they are.
