I get what you’re saying but I’m not sure the choice is as chosen (for want of a better term). People are given just enough to lose, if they try to buck the system. Almost everyone is an informant. Especially at work.

For sure, they can’t neutralise everyone but they only have the neutralise a certain amount. I’m not talking about people like you and me who refuse to question the first things we were ever told about the world.

Docile and subservient to a ruling class. I’d say, through no fault of their own, gen z has been psy-oped since they were born. They would be the best example now.

I understand and feel the same frustration that I think would lead to the conclusion you came to. I don’t think you’re stupid or crazy for thinking it. If you’re saying it in terms of “no ones coming to save us. The working class won’t rise up in glorious revolution” then i think we’re on the same chapter, if not the same page.

It’s so refreshing to have a civil disagreement with someone. Considering the state of the rest of the Internet, I always like to show any third party who might read this that the above is how it could be.
