"Why are the billionaire controlling owners of these corporations, instead of their employees, being targeted by such Americans as these? It is sheer stupidity. It is anger misdirected."

I don't know that's it is merely stupidity; but I agree that it is misdirected anger.

In the late 1980s and throughout the 1990s, the controllers created "right wing radio" with personalities like Rush Limbaugh. The aim of this propaganda drive was to draw in and anger displaced "steel belt," blue-collar American workers whose jobs had been shipped overseas, and blame the "liberals" before these workers caught on to who was really exporting their jobs via changes in "trade" and legislation.

This is a clear example of the "Divide and Conquer" strategy. It deflected attention away from the parasite class and their ownership of the steel industry (as well as other major U.S. production businesses), and transferred it to the "Liberals" as the reason these workers were being economically choked. The workers, apparently, never blamed the corporate owners, and accepted their P.R.-created identities as "conservatives." This is a clear example of "identity politics."

We are 30+ years further along, and the "left" has been manipulated in public opinion as the bad guys of today, with values that many persons who used to identify as left no longer recognize. We live under a vicious monopolistic economic system with Blackrock and its owner, Vanguard, at the helm controlling nearly every publicly-traded stock in all major markets. Deflecting the blame is key to obfuscating the true source of brutality inflicted upon all living people and creatures of the planet.
