I feel your sentiments. To be honest, I also do get quite depressed and pessimistic. But at least I am encouraged by the level of awakening that is occurring nowadays, especially online and on platforms such as Steemit. I am also hopeful that Blockchain, Cryptos, and up-and-coming technologies can re-shift power back to the people. In the end, it is really up to us to take it back. Cheers man.
