Yes, way I see it, a lot of these people might just be alright as long as the democratic and social wellbeing propaganda is flooding the airwaves. But guess what's flooding the airwaves right now. I think that societies that actually take the steps to install correct social safety nets like healthcare and the like actually do step into the light. I think the fix is so simple that hundreds of billions have to be spent to suppress and spin so it doesnt happen.
So you should feel bad, for everything. This place could be so bitchin', but its not. The solutions are mystical or unknown or out of reach for mankind. They're locked away and obscured because very powerful people want it this way. And I'm not talking about some absolute utopia being possible, what I mean is it doesnt have to be this stressful and crushing all the time. But the only way we get there as The People is if we spark, force, and maintain the change ourselves and agree on it by looking at available data. Unfortunately all that data shows that everything American Moguls love makes everything suck. So we arrive back at my first paragraph.

i mostly agree, except we can want a better world while simultaneously being frustrated with the people standing in the way of it.
Yeah and I guess I just want to believe that most people aren't this bad or can be 'saved' in a way. But thats in no way fact and I need to remember that.
