I have a lot of random isolated facts about elite manipulates
public opinion, keep people uneducated, send them to wars to benefit from it etc essentially see them as cattle to be explored and eaten.

But I have not formed anything very cohesive

I'd like a list of books on this subject

You'll find yourself becoming a lot more reasonable about people in different economic brackets after finishing college.

I majored in physics and computer science. I consider myself to be far-right and I believe stupid people should be left to perish.

But the wealth distribution today is surreal.

Let me put a stupid video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPKKQnijnsM

The top profiteers simply -own- you, your children and your grandchildren. if you're OK with this distribution you're either a submissive person who thinks its ok to be a slave or just don't realize what it implies.

>I majored in not a single economic or financial field, this means that I am wholly qualified to discuss these fields and their affect on you.
Sheesh, man, it's like listening to butthurt STEM majors act like they're qualified to tell you about how this or that philosopher is the best after reading a wiki summary or watching a youtube video because "I went to college for engineering, of course I understand philosophy!"

Sorry, dude, but a degree in a non-financial or economic field does not qualify one as an expert in those fields. Calling someone out for claiming that isn't juvenile, and I'm fairly sure it's even a common logical fallacy called "argument from authority."

Nobody else is even in this thread and the last reply outside of ourselves was over 2 hours ago. There's nothing to gain here by acting this way.
