I would rather live lower class making an honest living for whatever time I may have left, than sell out to anyone. They can keep their middle-class and their upper-class. I would not shame myself... let alone my mother, my father, my daughter, or my husband, by signing up to live a lie and receive dishonest compensation for my soul.
It is what it is.

Pfffth ... they can stuff their class system . Do just fine without it . I choose poor and happy anyday over rich and miserable or middle class slavery.

This is really admirable of you, I expect a lot of people will react in a similar manner but I have a feeling most will eventually smell the coffee. They, and yourself no doubt, have yet to feel the chill.
I have no need nor use for anyones "benevolence" .. fully self-sufficient here. Walked away from that cesspool people call "civilization" long ago. If/ when am no longer able to provide for myself then its time to die rather than be a slave to others. Its my life I live it on my terms.

It is easy to be poor and happy so long as you have the middle class benevolence and sympathy to cling to but what about when that is no longer there and you are given the cold shoulder instead?

I agree and I am in the same camp as yourself on this but the fact remains we are on the losing side. Its all very well to be noble and die for one's beliefs but there is no shame in signing up for the NWO, it is a perfectly sensible option as billions will tell you by their actions.
I am pretty well convinced that I am stabbing myself in the foot by not signing up for the inevitable but I am a lost cause, no question there particularly when I can see what will be in store for me by refusing. I can't pass judgment on those who surrender because there is no earthly reward for those who don't. In fact we must be friggin crazy not to when the odds against us are weighed up.edit on 27-1-2014 by Shema because: (no reason given)

This is an interesting thread-
George Orwell, in his always unsettlingly prophetic Nineteen Eighty-Four, foresaw a future much like the one you are describing, with society essentially "bisected" into
—the common, everyday middle class
(Outer Party), and
—the comparatively privileged "elite"
(Inner Party)
It would make sense, as we humans at our core definitely have a dualistic nature
—good vs. evil, haves vs. have nots, etc.
