This aint on 'the elites' what ever they or that is, unless you mean Mark Zuckerberg, its definitely on him, he has empowered the ######ed and now we are all pretty much doomed as these twats are going to eff it all up.

Yeah, let's just ignore how wages have stagnated, costs of living have increased exponentially, and wealth is being continually hoarded by a small group of people, all while the planet cooks to death.
The working class is quite obviously worse off in most of the developed world with no sign of improvement in sight. Why would they continue to trust the people who keep making policy decisions that make their lives and the lives of their children worse?
And I say that as someone who is anti-Brexit and anti-Trump, but the rise of populism shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who has a passing knowledge or world history and is aware of the socioeconomic and ecological conditions that are occurring across the world.
