In sociology, we call it false consciousness. We are constantly being conditioned by popular culture, to support and look up to the ruling classes. People even vote to give them more power.
If you realize your employer is full of BS, you’re already there.
Take it further, and watch out in media for statements like “Market downturn makes Billionaire Bob millions poorer.” Bob the Billionaire will never be poor, and we shouldn’t give a shit about Bob’s billions in wealth that won’t change his day one iota.
Or… “labor costs are the reason we are losing money.” While handing the c-suite bonuses.
Or… “if you take a vacation you’ll be hurting the team.”

Interesting! Is there any way to combat this “false consciousness”?
