    It’s a modern day religion … the same system we’ve always had for thousands of years

    A belief system where we all collectively believe that some people have more power than everyone else. A religion where we are made to believe that we walk among gods or god like men and women made possible by a divine being.

    Instead of offering daily goat sacrifices … we offer payment for subscription fees or buy something online.

      The religious aspect of the whole thing is becoming increasingly more evident as the system heads towards a crisis. Instead of rationally acknowledging that there are clear and obvious problems that stem from the functioning of the system, people are just doubling down on doing more of the same because they can’t even conceive of an alternative.

      I fell like I did some good today asking someone who they think “They” are and why they think “They” have the power to help but “you” don’t.

      You could literally see the gears turning in their head.
