Lords of the ashes

I see everyone talking about WW3 these days. Well, sorry to rain on you party, you-know-who-you-are, but this time the killing of an important general, and the hurling of a few intentionally misdirected missiles won't result in a major military conflict. Sorry, CNN. But in a way, another sort of WW3 has already begun quite a while ago. And we're all participants. Unlike the previous two world wars, it's not beween countries and nations, or standing armies. It's between classes. The elite, those overfed with power - against everybody else. Class war, OMG! Anathema! I'm sure you'd yell at me now. Well, it is a thing, whether you want it or not. Has always been. It was a thing in the Middle Ages, and it's a thing now. And we're all involved, being used as a tool, a weapon in it.

Indeed, every one of us has a role to play. Each of us has chosen a side. Even those who've chosen to call bullshit on it all, remain apathetic, and demand to be left alone. Those are actually the best weapon the other side can possibly dream of. You wonder who the Otherside is? Who that enemy is? Whom we can point a finger at, and head towards, torches in hand? Who "we" are and who are "they"? Well, do bear with me then.
