Of course I speak of the tiny minority of the civilized, the `elite' of civilization. The `elite' of civilization manipulate The People of The Masses of civilization in all manner of ways including all those used by the parasites of non-human life. The `elite' of civilization are critically dependent on the People of The Masses of civilization, whereas The People of The Masses of civilization do not need the `elite' of civilization at all, and indeed, The People would be far better off without the `elite'.
