Of course, this ain't no novel, but it is a "novel' situation leading in only one, destructive direction. It sometimes presents as a dilemma, as in, don't most people actually know they are slaves and should rebel, but figure their chances are nil, the rich and powerful having had a head start of centuries, have the game wrapped up? Or is more talk the solution? Which prospect is more discouraging? It seems we do have the facts, people know them where they live: the existential anxiety of daily life for the majority could elude only the brain-dead or purposefully blind. And they are acting: people are quitting their dirty jobs in the millions. They are demanding better working conditions and remuneration. They are no longer indulgent of billionaires, and quite possibly trillionaires. It isn't "cute" anymore. And the trend away from marriage and family forced by the system's inequity, makes the population less dependent on the system, and less willing to support it at any cost. Ironically, there is some hope in that.
