Billionaires: Not all of them but a lot of them are horrible people and immature yet somewhat clever dingbats who play power games and try to keep secrets. The bad ones are the secretive ones basically 100% of the time, as much as people might have a personal beef with public ones like Bill Gates or Oprah
Yuppies: Members of the Boomer generation who along with the billionaires have been in power a long time and set the cultural tone for essentially the span of their lifetimes, have largely been hand-picked
Hipsters: Children of yuppies who used to like to play at being hippies (now totally dead! but not literally.) Their trends are now mainstream and adopted by everyone besides them because their stuff was actually cool and what they became (see yuccies) isn't allowed to be cool. Their parents might put them in time-out for looking fondly upon that phase of their life or having had the wrong friends in the future
Yuccies: The people the hipsters are growing into as they are torn between emulating the yuppie lifestyle and trying to have some vague values, albeit cynical and rather lacking in conviction (or merely certainty?)
The middle class/petit bourgeoisie: Emulators of the yuppies who want to live the "American Dream," are pretty straightforwardly identifiable from calling themselves "the middle class," and are finding themselves thrown into the working class at an alarming rate, dying from horrific illnesses fairly young at an alarming rate, and estranging or becoming estranged from their offspring at an alarming rate
Those are the bad guys, and their agenda seems pretty obvious to me and should seem obvious to anyone who sees the whole picture and knows that yuppies were once hippies and beats but sold out and see that now basically everything in at least America and Britain (though the rest of the world is definitely impacted in various ways to various degrees) revolves around money and the accompanying superficial consumerist status symbols to the near-complete exclusion of basically any other sort of life. The fight has to start with information because information can't be commodified and we have handy things like Google that basically everyone can access to help. So instead of freedom isn't free, freedom is only free.
