By now we've all seen the 'files', if you're like me you've used various AI to cross-reference them with other things like financial crashes, who else might be a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th degree connections, where do they work, etc etc etc and at the end of it you see the web of parasitic elites running our society.

How do we just go back to 'normal'??

This is normal, the billionaire class has always ruled over hordes of proles.

In the beginning, we just knew about our own territory, a few hundred years ago, we wouldn't know what's going on beyond a few days travel from our home. Today, we can read news from across the globe.

A few centuries ago, we could at least daydream that things are better somewhere. Ignorance is bliss

The problem is, as people gain power, it rots their mind and ruins their perceptions, so we have this recurring theme running throughout our history.

That's why it's so important to have short terms and total transparency.

But, once they gain power, politicians always fight tooth and nail to keep and expand on that power, and since they make the rules, here we are. Again
