Hit the nail right on the head.

That's a great quote.

. . . And all I can think about is the Star Trek, TOS episode, "I, Mudd". But, I am working on it, I promise.

Thank you for sharing this video.

that's when it's easiest for them to control people through divisive hate, rising up by stepping on someone else.

They love telling people "they're stealing your jobs" instead of telling "job creators" to hire more workers.

is too extensive to fit in a single post.

This is why Democrats keep losing elections.

The people who have us busy fighting a gender war to keep us from fighting a class war.

Is someone forcing people to vote based on their hatred of some gender ?

Forcing people to vote? Did someone claim that was happening?

but by constantly barraging the red-hatted simpletons, they get them focused on hating various things besides the main one.

And to properly spell out everything here, the main one is class differences. The super wealthy wants the rest of the population to fight amongst themselves rather than recognizing that the super wealthy are the sole cause of everyone’s troubles.

With anti-immigration hysteria thrown in for good measure.

As Molly Ivins noted years ago: "It's not a left-against-right issue, it’s a top-versus-bottom issue.”

Just watched the dancing Bear and don’t look at us while we rob you blind.

Rose Hulman Institute of Technology and Harvey Mudd are likely the two most prestigious places to get an engineering degree that you do not know if you are not in the STEM world. Great to see this speech from a STEM school.

Great specific example of how this impacts real people.

The numbers there dwarf other strong STEM schools like Purdue, Rose, MIT.

"Illusion of meritocracy" is a great line.
