Not only are we ruled by sociopaths, this is inevitable over time.
Learn well The Iron Law Of Oligarchy and The Iron Law Of Institutions. Take them to heart. Power is to sociopaths what catnip is to cats. Not only that, but sociopaths are precisely the people who will do Whatever It Takes to gain power.
This is why, after some 5,000 years or so of recorded human history, one can find successful examples of all kinds of societies, and all of these societies eventually fail, as the sociopaths take over.
I'd reiterate this as a painful realization, but what would be the point. We see the outcome all around us in personal relationships. I've witnessed one partner in a marriage, a close woman friend, after reading about the sociopaths' characteristics and recognizing them in her husband, nevertheless blow it off because of the slick mental chains that group is so skilled at winding around their victims. Breaking free of the influence of someone with these enslaving powers is a bitch. Not many are even capable of the recognition, much less doing anything to resist.
You have, indeed, Jenny. We're all beaten down over here. I wish I had a definitive terminal disease rather than the slow deteriorative crap I'm imprisoned in. I'd suggest giving me a 9-gram delivery device and somehow placing me in the immediate vicinity of Milekowsky. But please don't quote me; I'm sure some mofo is listening. And I may be a natural born citizen free of felonious criminal record, but I doubt anyone is safe at this juncture . . . in the "land of the free".
I was looking to the future when I requested "additional sleeping pills" from my beloved Psychiatrist here in France. 12yrs with him...he knows me well.
Absolutely no-one is safe. BUT the morons don't know this!
Historians Will and Ariel Durant published a short book, The Lessons of History, approximately 60 years ago. It’s worth reading. Free PDF versions are available online.
Throughout Western history of the past 5000 years, whenever the inequality of wealth and power accrue to small cadre at the expense and suffering of the masses, the masses eventually revolt and overthrow the oppressors. That’s existentially necessary for the oppressed masses.
One big difference, today, is that the Earth cannot sustain a human population of 8 Billion persons, indefinitely. A related big difference is climate catastrophe that may or may not address the excess population issue.

I have written so many times "How to resist." But nobody pays attention!
