Thanks.

Yes, the wealthy have the system set up to keep them in wealth and the rest (more than 99% of the population) as slave laborers. Of course, they must shift the focus of hatred away from themselves to the other slaves or they'd be quickly over-thrown - this is where the majority of their expertise in psychological manipulation is invested.

The ONLY way to "beat" them is to become autonomous. The only way to become autonomous is to stop allowing other weaklings to drag us into their drama, which isn't even real - they don't consciously realize that they're agreeing to the slave conditions of their government.

A strong man doesn't need authority in his life. He IS his own authority. A strong man will defend his own values with his life. He lives for what is right and good, for himself, his family, and anyone else in need of direction and strength whom can demonstrate that their intentions are aligned with morality and virtue.
