If you are born into a system where you are controlled from birth and kept ignorant by being taught false knowledge, programmed through education, technology, and entertainment then it is not as simple as people being selfish, greedy, and ignorant when as a society they are groomed to be that way. Yes as a whole people allow those in power to take advantage and abuse us but its because thats what they were taught is normal. So until enough people wake up to the truth or even care to acknowledge the deceptions then nothing will change for the better.
