Fake Horizon Of Possibilities - Sink At Your Own Cost

“Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land, they own and control the corporations that've long since bought and paid for, the senate, the congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pocket, and they own all the big media companies so they control just about all of the news and the information you get to hear. They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else. But I'll tell you what they don't want. They don't want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don't want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They're not interested in that. That doesn't help them.”
―George Carlin

Society voluntarily throws us in treacherous waters with no life jacket and we get blamed if we can’t survive. Yet we get sold on the idea that we have this luxury of being able to choose our destiny. But this supposed freedom of choice is disguised as a double edged sword. We’re “free” to choose, but if we make the wrong choice, the fault is ours to own. Doesn’t matter that the structures of the system caused our personal collapse. From our cradle to our grave we will be forced to fight against a system that is more invested in its own survival than our own.

Most have bought into the idea that we deserve our fate. The rich obviously deserve their fate, they worked hard for it, even if it was done through unethical means. The poor should stop sitting on their asses, even though they work 3 different jobs to make ends meet. Because it is your responsibility to get out of the circle of poverty, and yours alone, not society’s one. Why is it that rich people who have attained their richness in vicious ways don’t feel shame, while people born in poverty feel that shame on a daily basis? Maybe because the system is designed in such a way to invisibilize those who suffer the most from the injustices of such a system.

Remember as a kid that narrative they sold you on? The one which states that when you're older “you can be whatever you want to be.” Selling us an illusion, that’s what society and its closest acolyte, mainstream media, knows how to do best. They don’t want us to succeed - they want us to be obedient followers in their big ass playground of slavery.
