    And as I escape, or fight back, you whine and demand I stop, because it is a threat to your existence and you know it as well as I do.

    The one mistake I had been making over the years was thinking people like you are potential allies simply because you’re in the same boat as me, but you are clearly not. You’re part of the problem. You know the system exploits and enslaves everyone who is a part of it, you know it purposefully enables major crimes like rape, murder and abuse to keep us peasants in line without them having to wield the whips themselves, you know no one who works full time throughout their adult lives will get the benefits they were promised because it was all a lie.

    What you don’t know is that you’re being chewed up and spit out all the same and that you’re not ever going to get to be a member of the ruling class like you want because everything you’re defending is hurting you, too.

    One day you’ll get it. You’re the type that won’t get it until you’re 50 or 60, probably not until Social Security finally tanks and it comes out the trillions put into it have mysteriously disappeared somehow. And somehow, mysteriously, Jeff Bezos and the rest of the rich will have built an O’Neill cylinder by then, and left you to rot in the wastes with the rest of us. The rest of us, who you purposefully beat down to protect them thinking it was gonna get you someplace.

    🤷 Lesson learned, I guess.
