I watch the Mandalorian and the book of Boba using a friend's account. I don't pay Disney for entertainment because they're more or less not interested in it.
True enough. And it's not just governments and nation states anymore. Facebook has a user base of 3 billion people. There's corporate states now as well and they can often times weild a far more influence than the latter.
Unfortunately people on both sides are controlled to some degree by the system. Despite that system being weaponized against them, they're still completely dependent on it because they're unaware what other options exist.
Further, that same system keeps all of them divided into numerous factions so that they never realize that the system itself is the problem. Instead they're convinced that their fellow Americans are the real threat and that neither side obeys enough.
I believe the key isn't fighting a corrupt system apparatus like that, but instead delegating your time and energy to another one entirely that doesn't hold you or your resources hostage. Doing that also robs the other system of what it relies on - your time and resources.
Politicians in an archaic system are not an answer, despite who they are. They still have to operate in a system they don't control & that has far too many moving parts to be a positive, cohesive unit for humanity.
Yes. It's been corrupted far beyond any semblance of repair. I don't believe system apparatuses of that size can actually be fixed. A new one needs to be put in place. For now, I simply remove as many dollars from that system and inject them into another one so they can't be used against me or someone else later.
The Enron documentary is of particular note as they did all kinds of things financially that they made up on the fly. Creating fictional profits where there was actual deficits for years on end and the market played along.
