for me. “IF you tell the truth you won’t be in trouble” yeah mom, I fell for that a few times and learned that lesson quickly.
Just give those powerful people that one, tiny concession, and everything will be so much better. Repeat as needed.

If it was truly great then we wouldn’t know it is a lie.

De beers basically made Diamonds as a jewelry item and set the market price for them. At one point, they were mining 80-90% of all diamonds and instead of selling them cheap, they put almost all in storage and sold only a few. This drove up the price because the demand remained the same and the public started thinking diamonds are super rare, hence deserve such a high price. They also created the best marketing campaign in history, or one of the best. Before 1940, only 5-10% of all brides received diamonds in a ring. De beers created a campaign and I think we all know the slogan, “diamonds are forever.” Now almost every single bride expects a diamond and im guessing more than 90% of all engagement and wedding rings have a diamond and guys are expected to get a diamond.

“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”

Themistocles lied about pirates so Athenians would spend their newfound silver on a giant navy, which was handy since not too long afterwards, Xerxes decided to invade Greece and sent his much bigger Persian Fleet to sack Athens. Instead, the Athenian Fleet defeated the Persian Fleet at the Battle of Salamis, allowing for the safe evacuation of Athens before Xerxes land army reached it (after defeating Leonidas and his Spartans at Thermopylae).
Without that lie, Athens would have been caught by surprise when the Persian Fleet sailed into its harbor and its most prominent scholars would have been killed, leaving Western Civilization without its European base, and Rome (who almost all Western countries used as a governing model in some way), would have had no “guide” to follow.

My best friend has consistently, without fail, gotten away with missing nearly every major educational deadline in his life by saying his aunt passed away.
At this point, shes immortal because she’s had to have died at least a dozen times by now.

That the biggest problem for low and middle-income owners is not their shitty incomes, but “taxes”, including theoretical tax rates that they are nowhere near rich enough to pay. Maybe Mark Twain that said, paraphrased, “every poor American is just a temporarily embarrassed millionaire.” My Dad will always choose to believe the statement of a rich billionaire over the actual reality that I’m experiencing. This country’s horniness and servility for the rich knows no bounds
That Donald Trump represents the interests of poor rural whites.
