The Other 98% is almost all of us. This is the idea behind the activist organization that uses their internet presence to fight for things like increasing minimum wage and opposing favorable tax treatment for large corporations. Originally founded by left-of-center activists John Sellers and Andrew Boyd in 2010, it was a direct response to the conservative Tea Party movement.

Today, the organization targets complex and intertwined issues like economic justice, reproductive justice, climate justice, big pharma, democracy, and racial justice. So no wonder they've gained a cult following. Serving as a massive online storytelling machine, The Other 98% has a whopping 6.7M followers on their Facebook page.

According to The Other 98%, they are now “winning the meme warfare with some of the internet’s most viral original political content.” And this is one hell of a war to win, having in mind the countless amount of content that gets regurgitated online not just every single day, but per millisecond. “Keeping the Class War classy!” shouts their slogan, and those memes, they are priceless.

    I have existed under different economic systems. It's not capitalism or communism or socialism that is problem. It's greed. Every system will fail under this obscene greed displayed by our leaders ( both political and corporate). They hold up capitalism as bait to distract you from the real problem. That they are getting rich off our hard work. Stop fighting each other and start holding our leaders accountable for failing us.

    This is f###ing CRIMINAL!!! If he's paid back $175,000, that's more than TWICE the original loan - and he still owes even more. This is usury, plain and simple. The greedy scum that make loans like this need to be rounded up, stripped of all their ill-gotten wealth, publicly humiliated, and locked up the rest of their worthless lives in a privately-owned prison with rotten food and underpaid guards who have attitudes.

    It's my belief that the world's top bankers are the ones killing the planet. The way they can create money without having to base it on anything has destroyed the economy. The economy is at the root of the houseing crisis, which oddly enough seems to be at the root of the climate crisis once you dig into it. Having governments that are willing to impose laws on the banks where they can't just make money out of thin air would save the planet.
