In the medieval period we had a warrior ruling class, the musket ended the era of knights and made war a plebs affair, little training, cheap weapon and could be locked up from the plebs after after which their marksmanship is no useless.
This gave new strength to a mercantile middle class that had been getting rich not off of lordships and title but slave plantations and trade abroad.
To make matters even worse the degenerate ancestors of the once noble warrior class were still there festering, without any utility or function anymore. They like the plebs became the puppets of the ruling class.
Technology accelerated their control.
The merchant class were expert propagandists with the printing press, they became propagandists through tv and radio. A few hundred years ago peoples moral guidance came from parents, those the interacted with and religious leaders. Now generations have been raised with nothing but their input.
Society has been managed by those in control of technology for a long time. These people of all backgrounds are united by the aweful traits status seeking and nepotism that got them there. Even if there were no ethnic dimension to this class or caste system the situation would be dire.
Anyone concur?
