    So true

    People have an almost ingrained belief from birth that they have no power whether through parents teachers etc

    And that societal weakness helps to allow the worst to attain power in crucial areas.

    People are raised to be subservient. Not healthy, but just the way many governments like their citizens.

      I agree completely. The entire system is built upon keeping the masses weak and dependent. It’s a hateful thing, passed down from generation to generation and reinforced by the entire society, government, schools, churches, the elite, media and the state quo. It’s a nightmare that people think of as normal.
