Individual going head on against the system. A tale as old as time.
I've been thinking a lot about how unforgiving human systems are. We're all governed by them, and yet the people who put them in place are long retired or dead and it takes an insane amount of work to make even the slightest of changes.
As long as there's no critical mass of unsatisfied people, it keeps chugging along. Some are caught in the cogs of the machine, maimed and killed, but society doesn't care as long as the majority is fine.
If/when that critical mass is reached, the system is either forcefully changed, often drastically, or crashes completely and a new one is built.
Rather fascinating.
