The stuff with Facebook was pretty scary. I'm a skeptical type, so I wouldn't fall for it...but so many of FB are so gullible. People don't like the term "fake news", but there really is an abundance of misinformation, exaggerations and outright lies to sift through lately. How much of that is the doing of foreign governments like Russia, idk, but I'm sure they're involved in a decent % of it for whatever reason. 

It's almost like a new form of terrorism. Fake news + gullible people = mass hysteria. Our own media feeds right into it out of greed and lack of integrity in journalism.

Fake news isn't new. It's been around for a very long time. It's prominence in today's society and the way it's packaged and sold to us has changed a bit, but it's not new.
Just the mere term of the 1% is misleading because it's much less than 1%. 
The good news is there are many more of us than there are of them.

There's been speculation that WWII was fabricated to protect the wealth of the elites and Hitler rose to power as a bulwark to protect them from the Bolsheviks . The kings and queens and others in the European monarchies were absolutely terrified by the fate that became of the Russian royalty so they financed (as did many of US elites such as Henry Ford, Rockefellers , Bush family and the Dulles brothers, etc.)  the Nazi party to protect themselves from the rising tide of the working classes .
To muddy the waters further we've demonized the very idea of socialism and sold on the notion that capitalism will always be inclusive to all of us when in fact it's mostly controlled by a very small group of people who have no qualms whatsoever of killing off millions upon millions of people if it means losing their fortunes to the likes of us . Most people don't know who Smedly Butler was, but if it hadn't been for him the United States may very well have become a Nazi state. There truly was a plot to overthrow FDR and Butler was the hand picked man to pull it off except for  the fact that Butler blew the whistle on the plot and refused to play along.

You probably won't agree with nor even believe much of it, but there's a lot of thought provoking stuff everyone ought to watch
