Binaries, Binaries, Binaries, OH MY!

In the selling out article I read the words, "The poor necessarily hate the rich, so much that the rich have reason to fear the poor. Moreover, the rich deserve to have civil government protect them and, by extension, their God-given right to happiness via property ownership. One critical function of liberal democratic government, then, is to defend wealthy people against poor people"

This statement is true applied to every binary. Black and Whites, or more realistically whites and non-whites for example. Even omnivores and and herbivores ( you knew I was going here.) Just look at  the Hardees ad that says "No one gives a high five after eating tofu." The meat eaters are purposely conditioned by the media to be against people who don't eat meat. The straights are conditioned to be afraid of gay people unless they are in an "appropriate" service position that serves women exclusively. But when that gay man is trying to sell you a rifle at the sporting goods store, now you have a problem. This is all the media conditioning us. Just like it does to fear black people and even mentally challenges people, who are often portrayed as murderers, like in The Long Hot Summer by William Faulkner.

Do you think it is impossible for people to break through this social conditioning that causes us to fear each other? It sounds like we need to hijack the media if we ever want social change.
