I agree, though I'm not sure it is a matter of waking up but rather going through a serious contemplation of ones own participation in it and the addictions one has to the convenience of what the state provides. The topic of another post, but I would suggest that we are addicted to convenience and the government is doing everything they can to feed our addictions. That is the best way to control people. Those who do the work and remove all their addictions are not controllable and threaten the very foundations of the state. It indeed does require work. People will do what ever it takes to reduce the amount of work. They would rather have others do that work or even build robots to get it done. There are costs associated with all of that.
