Divide and conquer has worked for thousands of years, yet few still understand the playbook. So many smart people I know are getting caught up with all this political noise. It has always been and will continue to be a world for elites.
That's some words of wisdom there. The elites have, are and will continue to rule the world. It's just that the system changes - Monarchy, Feudalism, Plutocracy, Oligarchy. Democracy is just a smokescreen for the dumb masses. I stopped worrying about all these long back. Wine, dine and ride the trends ! My long term trend is 2 days away from turning into a bear.
