Avi Lewis @avilewis.ca · 05/08/2026People are furious with ultra rich, powerful elites. The social contract has been broken. People who work for a wage or salary (not a dividend or bonus) just can’t make the household math make sense. And we’re looking up at the unlimited wealth of the 1% and we are pissed. 211526
Avi Lewis @avilewis.ca · 05/08/2026This groundswell of populist rage is legitimate, and it’s a completely predictable consequence of our economic system and how it has been managed for the last 50 years. The desire to push back against the smug arrogance and creepy impunity of elites is a defining force in politics today. 18813
B. Chris (B.C.) Bell @bc30000.bsky.social · 05/08/2026The social contract was broken with Reagan. My entire life has been led in what sociologists call "an era of bad finance." Media, propaganda, and the internet age lulled is into an era of delusional politics. Then fascism, because if you're going to live in fantasy, that's where you go. 021
