Colonising Talent

So I mean, look at America. Whatever cultural unique cultural contribution that's come from America, it's come from the poor, from the underclass, from African Americans, from poor whites, from immigrants, so on. From gospel music to blues music to r and b, to jazz, rap and hip hop and so on. And then on the other side of the coin, bluegrass, country music, rockabilly, rock and roll and so on. All of these things came from the poor, from the working class.

And from John Steinbeck to James Baldwin, your best writers all emerged from poverty and deprivation. Historically, the same goes for most of your acclaimed athletes, your entertainers, and your performers. And then your style and fashion and slang and everything. Creativity has always come from the poor. The rich mine the resources of their talent.

The same way that they would mine a copper or lithium or gold. And then profit from it. Enrich themselves and claim it and act like it's part of their own greatness.
