What's really depressing is that people are treated throughout as if they were not individuals with deeply personal choices to make, which is where transformation actually lies, but as members of classes for which 'effective political movements' for or against other classes are seen to be solutions for the human condition.
Personally, I can't define my 'class': some of my not-distant ancestors were peasant farmers and immigrants, some family members are manual workers, some are professionals, I grew up with not much money but lots of education. I have been well-patronised by other individuals of several races and colours and creeds: does that make *them* elites?
Morals and behaviour transcend politics.
someone foments and fosters these divisions. That'd be the Devil, I reckon.
