It definitely is a problem of human nature to be sure. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Most people just want to live their lives and don't seek power. The few that do seek power generally should never have it. But we do need some minimal power structures.

Part of the biggest issues is education. In western nations Political literacy and education is purposefully deficient. Because it benefits those in charge of the systems. Not to say it isn't similar in other style countries. Ignorance is always a useful tool however.

Yep. There is an obvious malice for personal gain. I can feel it.

I always narrow it down to education. But how. The ideology is so strewn about, by design.

We'd need to teach stuff like mindfulness in school. Something that should be taught, but would be looked down on as some flavor of other. I wish I was taught to think and live. I was taught how to keep my head down and hate myself. This is just how it is.

They really dug in deep. All over the world. Kudos to them for holding "power", whatever that is. I can feel it before I go to bed, telling me what I'm not allowed to say aloud.

People even pray to the ugly thing. Imagine that. Praying to something other than your own wellbeing and the wellbeing of others prayers.
