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.

More info: Facebook | Other98.com | Instagram | Twitter

The Other 98% uses meme warfare and savvy boots-on-the-ground actions to challenge the corporations and billionaires that have hijacked our democracy, claims the description on their website. “We fight like hell for an America that works for the other 98% of us.”

According to The Other 98%, whoever wins the battle of the story wins the war. So the organization specializes in fighting this battle of the story through meme warfare with some of the internet’s most viral original political content. “Our massive online storytelling machine aims to disentangle complex policy, connect dots between issues like climate justice and reparations, and provide a home for like-minded — and not so like-minded — people to take ownership of these memes, and fight for them accordingly,” they claim.

Their content reaches 7-15 million people every day, making them the most important voice of social, economic, reproductive, racial and other forms of justice out there in the US. “We know that storytelling can change the world, because we've seen it happen again and again,” they claim positively.

Rich-vs.-Poor-Class-Wars-The-Other-98-Percent

TheOther98 Report

Andrew Boyd is the author, activist and in his words “prankster of social change” also known as the co-founder of The other 98% and the man behind the “Billionaires For Bush” campaign. Together with Dave Oswald Mitchell, he edited “Beautiful Trouble. A Toolbox For Revolution,” which serves as a kind of instruction manual for creative activism.

ADVERTISEMENT

In this interview, Boyd shared his thoughts on his vision of creativity meeting activism: “I am speaking of these sort of moments, whether it is a TAZ or an extraordinary epiphany moment, a carnival moment; whether it is in the streets of Seattle or in Occupy Wall Street, with its utopian longings. Or maybe it can be some of these lovely Critical Mass transitory moments. Bringing utopia into history, to make that happen – even if it´s just for a moment and on a localized place and experiencing it – affects you on a very visceral level.”

Moreover, Boyd argues that it affects us at the level of our nervous systems, of our whole beings and bodies and souls, “as opposed to just an intellectual argument.” He explained that “if you experience direct democracy, or an intimate community, or just an otherwise impoverished urban space suddenly made beautiful, it alters everything.”

The Other 98% follows this concept of taking a comical approach towards complex subjects, using the voice of the internet, and memes in particular, to spread the message.

Do you think this would all be Musk's job? I don’t want to defend him, all the super-rich definitely should pay higher taxes, but I don’t think it would be his job to repair bridges or give teachers a higher salary just because he has money.

No, of course not. It's not his job and he can spend his money the way he wants to. The thing is, if he paid sufficient taxes, there'd be more money in the government to do it themselves. Then again... there's the issue with government for some reason not passing bills which would get things done.

@Walter Bravenboer: Well, to your point, I don't get a physical paycheck anymore either. It's electronically deposited in my account. It doesn't mean I still can't use it to pay my bills (also often electronically, by the way.) I also still pay taxes. What keeps Musk, Bezos, et. al. from doing the same on the money they make? If we go with what you say, the rich will just get all the richer and those who are struggling will drown. Think about it.

It is reprehensible that governments have set up a system to deliberately enable the rich to get richer and do so little for the impoverished. And blaming victems is what the advantaged do. Governments also spend inappropriately. Whatever happened to working FOR the people. ie ALL the people.

I mean literally since I was a kid I wanted to get a good job so that I could help homeless people. So this hits me right in the gut that he has THAT amount to be able to help that many people that profoundly for that long. SO much could be done with that.

Analyze data, formulate plans that support kids where a crappy curriculum does not, push kids to their true potential, work with parents and families (or not depending on circumstance). Then they deal with behavior and trauma all day long too. If the US is every going to change, it starts with public education. So sad that big money has a hold on that too.

What charity did Elon Musk give to? Last year, he gave $50 million to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. He also donated about $30 million to a variety of public schools and nonprofits in south Texas, where SpaceX builds its rockets. His private foundation's latest IRS filing shows he donated 11,000 Tesla shares to the charity in 2019.

Musk is the worst. Not only does he have his head so far up trump's a$$ that he can't tell what day it is, but the way he talks about American workers is disgusting. There was an interview with him where he says American workers should be working like the Chinese, working until 3am and sleeping at their job sites (wtf on working conditions in China and wtf is he thinking) It has also recently come to light that he is a misogynistic pig who is completely okay with harassing female employees, paying them off, and forcing them to sign NDAs (I mean...he supports trump so I'm not terribly surprised there) He makes me want to vomit.

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.

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.
