    The answer to that question relies on the answer to another. Was the Civil War profitable? A lot of rights for minorities and women spawned from that, so if it makes sense for the wealthy to have that war, it makes sense that it could have been driven by that.

    But...I think it's more likely that this is a bunch of independent actors than one conspiracy of a select few. The rebellious teen on twitter is doing what she wants, influenced by hundreds of people she's interacted with...each of whom are no different than you or me. So how'd the rich guys do it? Advertising messages maybe? Idk, but I find it hard to believe that this is a master plan

    Here's one example. The beauty of the situation, and the key to all of it, is that the puppet can't see the strings up until a certain point. However, once you're past the point of no return, it doesn't matter if the puppets see the strings because they're not going to change their behavior.

    And no, rich white men (what I'm calling the ruling class) is not a single group of people, but they're too smart to fight each other on anything important.
