The New Imperialism

Since the end of the cold war, corporations/oligarchs have been trying to drive the whole world back to the time of the British East India Company, but rather than subjugate poor people in distant lands, the current model seems to be to subjugate everyone everywhere. Divide and conquer schemes that were once applied to the Company Raj in India are now being applied to western countries via mass migration.

The oligarchy of yesteryear (well its grandchildren anyway) pretends to stand in solidarity with whom they formerly subjugated and terrorized against "white people" without even a hint of irony or skepticism. In the colonial era, physical violence was employed by corporations against their subjects, but today that's not really necessary or practical. It's a lot easier to steal from people with laws, regulatory bodies, etc...

Very predictably, people are sorting into "sides" and getting angry at their fellow men rather than the people who divide them and exploit them.
