The Emergence of the New Caste System in the Western World
Alex Ansary With the global economy in free fall and good jobs becoming harder to find, our world is rapidly morphing into something new. The way some people choose to relate to others who perceive to be below them seems to be worsening. The gap between the have, and have nots has grown so distinct that it is now easier to see how people in the highly completive workplace are already living in a de facto caste system. We have always had somewhat of a pecking order throughout human history. A society where there's somebody on the top and bottom, this is nothing new. Hierarchies have always been around, it seems to be a part of our cellular memory. However, many people believe that in the United States we are supposed to rise above the caste system and truly discover the American Dream if we are willing to work hard enough to achieve it. Now that it appears we are going into a depression, times are changing very quickly. The extreme nature of the economic downturn is drastically putting a strain on the emotions of everyday Americans and the worse is yet to come. The population has been conditioned by the system to the point that they run faster on the hamster wheel, for fewer and few peanuts without asking basic questions like... Why is this happening? Why do we feel so seperated or isolated from each other at a time when we should be working together to solve the common problems? We should not judge others or ourselves based on income or material possessions. That is how we have been programmed into the matrix. It is not reality. It based on a value system we inherited, not one that is originally ours. In the end, many may find themselves in the same boat, unemployed and frightened about the coming changes. There is no point thinking one person is better than another based on illusionary caste systems or perceptions. Being jealous of what one person will continue to be a draining experience. Our energy is precious and we are running out of time. The true revolutionaries will be seeking new ways to bring unity to the masses as we attempt to lift ourselves up from the ashes of the approaching economic storm and crisis. We are the cusp of a new era of time where our survival depends of the creation of a new paradigm, a new sustainable world where the new growing lower class will need to work together to build a better, fair and humane country without flying under the guise of communism or socialism. |
