Because fighting the powers that be puts us at great risk of losing something that isn't so bad when you compare it to pound-me-in-the-ass prison.

doesnt mean we cant do it at lesser risk to ourselves if we do it right, the art of pressuring them has only gotten better over time.

It's a great question.

It's best to start with zero hope in humanity if you're looking for answers for that.

Here's a figure to wrap your head around:

It's pretty clear by now that our hyperconnectedness is what's destroying our minds. Disconnecting seems like the only healthy option. Not that I've successfully managed so, mind you.

Ah yes it's our awareness of all the bad things happening that is the problem.

The solution is to put our heads in the sand! My goodness why didn't I think of that!

It's totally easy to organize a resistance as long as you totally ignore everything that's happening!!
