Ordinary working people will be  in early graves due to  stress, depression, suicide, starvation, malnutrition , Or  hypothermia .  Millions of People  working their nuts off and  still  not able to even  afford the basics.   The elites  rig the game  so that only they benefit, no one else

It's genocide  . There's no other word for it

Catch a grip ffs and stay off Twitter

How else would you describe it

You know this is happening globally so all the countries governments are in on it to collectively cull the poor, I suppose the pandemic didn't do it and the vaccines haven't don't it so it's now the rich rulers of the world

You look with your eyes open. You have a head start on most people.

Would say genocide is a bit far

But there is 100% an agenda to strip assets from the middle classes (the working classes have already been stripped)

You'll own nothing and you'll be happy

They yearn for the 1800's where there were only aristocrats and peasants

The laugh is that they've convinced lots of people on that they will be aristocrats - and therefore they should support this

If I'm lucky, I might get to actually own my own home, I can't see my kids every owning their own homes..

There won't be any extra money left to our kids when we get older as the nursing homes will bleed any savings dry.

But I don't believe there is a higher order who sit down Spectre style and determine how they kill the poor and strip the middle earners.

[imtommygunn]

I don't believe there's a higher order either but there's definitely a bigger divide and the bigger divide the more only the rich will be listened to and the bigger, and bigger, the divide will be. Truss was blatant about not giving a shite for poor people . To me it's all about donors etc. Do what you can to keep them happy and to hell with the rest. That is specific to UK but I doubt it's much different elsewhere.

To paraphrase a famous Russian boxer "If They Die, They Die". Banks approach to energy crisis

[thewobbler]

There is no higher order.

It's just innate human greed, permitted room to manifest itself in the most callous of ways, fuelled by politics, marketing and education converging under one umbrella in which material wealth, and increased profits by any means necessary, are the key to happiness.

[imtommygunn]

That's it in a nutshell.

[Milltown Row2]

We are handcuffed to that though, and there is no other alternative so we are swimming (against the tide a lot) to stay afloat...

Shite!!!

I'm not referring to a specific group, like some movie villains 

But asset stripping of the middle classes is definitely a hallmark of the large corporations (especially financial ones)

And politicians are bought off to enable this through policy decisions

Ever? I wouldn't bet the house on it.
house prices have always gone in circles, same as Antrim hurling.

Has the price of a barrel not dropped lately?

Yeah but good luck waiting on them passing that on, RAC said the other day it should be 5/6p cheaper than it is. Quick to go up, slow to come down

Why are others countries more protest orientated than us, such as France. Its not like we aren't a nation of complainers. Surely at some point people need to rally against the government to significantly reduce the price of fuel, and not just by 5 or 10p.

I think the left is weaker in Ireland due to political history and emigration
