The American "Dream"
#3
RE: The American "Dream"
The american dream is a fiction sold to the lower classes to stop them revolting.

In each society there was a 'golden ticket' to a better life that could be yours that served this purpose.
to gladiators it was the rudius.
to slaves it was either the chance of freedom when your master died, or in extreme cases religion promising you a better life after death, (that was the best lie).
To this generation in the UK it is the lotteries 'it could be you'.




You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis.
