Is the Internet revolution and the Network, killing the middle class ?

What we are currently experiencing in the western world is the complete disappearing of the middle class. The gap between rich and poor is widening to an extent that remind us of ancient times and what we thought could have been a democratic and decentralized revolution (the internet) is probably the greatest oligopoly we've ever seen.

Why i say (write) so ?

Because Networking, structured like it is, is not the wonder everyone was expecting. The developed world is folding into austerity and the middle class is declining, there is a decline in social mobility too, and we are seeing an intense and unprecedented phenomenon of wealth concentration. And when we look deeply into this intense wealth concentration, whether from financial or tech companies,  we always find at the top of the network a giant computer associated with that scheme.

The power of propaganda

Our minds are constantly under siege by the propaganda machine, whether from governments or corporations it seems impossible to escape this endless stream of lies that are trying to guide us and move us into preestablished directions.

An example from one of the greatest Propaganda Master ever, an extract from a conversation between Joseph Goebbels (Reich Minister of Propaganda in Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945) and director Fritz Lang :

G: "Mr Lang, join us and become the official director of the third reich, Metropolis is Fuehrer's favourite movie ever"

L : "But Minister, i'm Jewish ! "

G: "Mr Lang, we, decide who the jews are"

Here's an inside look at the propaganda of the ISIS (or IS: Islamic State)

Democracy and Perpetual War

The western world is declining and while doing so is pressuring the east and middle east to adopt his value and his "way of life".  Empires collapses from within, they don't get overthrown by external aggressor. When the time is right  all it takes is just a little push and they fall apart.

India, China and the Middle east are offering a strong resistance to western domination. Their resistance appears irrational to us, their culture appears irrational to us. But in the end what wins, and stand out, is only a strong belief no matter how rational or irrational it is. Societies that adopt western "way of life" shows a weakness in their moral values. They accept changes from the outside.

Western evolution is at his peak of rationality and that means self-interest and egoism above all, no one is rationally willing to sacrifice his life and comfort for  a society, an abstract value or an idea. This path, ironically, should represent peace and prosperity but instead it leads to extinction.
