    Society developed the tools to manipulate humans based on common errs we make, and so of course the logical end-point is the continued control of those already in power. We’ve also deprived the vast majority of people from the tools for counteracting common mistakes, behind paywalls, time theft, and esoteric elitist language. By this, we’ve kept the means of inoculating ourselves against control out of reach.

    The rich directly define how this world by who they lobby, what charities they fund or deprive, and what they make their news outlets pedal. They are the reason for ignorance, stupidity, and fanaticism.

    First we must educate others in order to inoculate them. Then we must organize to wrench our power back to ourselves and away from the elite.

      It is clear that in a cultured and informed people these policies cannot subsist, which is why they do everything in their power, helped for centuries by the church and today by related information media, study plans, etc. to keep the people ignorant, obedient and submissive. But this only shows that it cannot be solved with “eat the rich”, this would be simplifying this too much, it is this whole system that puts people in a spiral that is already very difficult to undo, until a bad awakening occurs, but then it’s late.
