The 99%

Dear Reader.

there's this little movement that's started recently, in the occupy camps and stuff, called "The 99%" and like a lot of political movements the whole thing kind of stinks of hypocrisy. Its based on the statistic that in the world around 1% of the population controls 99% of all the wealth and "come the revolution" the 99% will rise up and, essentially, crush them. Now, the real problem is the people who believe in "The 99%" always think that they are part of it. The chances are if you have your own computer (which is probable since you're reading this), have the use of regular electricity and plumbing, have your own car (it doesn't matter which), have your own clean drinking water and are able to vote democratically, your already way more richer and luckier than allot of people who live in the world today.

If you can't accept that you're part of the 1% then what about the top 10, top 20%. Do you really think you're that poor? this is the problem with most political movement or revolutions is that they're all led by the  educated middle class. the moment you know what the petit bourgeois means or you join the socialist student movement at your university you are already part of the petit bourgeois.

I'm not fooling myself I've always been a hypocrite.
