Let's say you have 2 bad neighbours. One keeps dumping toxic sludge in your garden (corporations). The other is forever telling you this is OK (government) and that you need to forget about it. Eventually they start to tell you that that your garden is a problem and that something needs to be done. At this point they come to you to ask for more money (a lot more) to clear it up, and ask that you can't go outside any more while they sort out the problem. And you think this is right and agree! I hope you can show you have become weaker at their expense, because you believed their nonsense! The unfortunate reality is that the people that run government and corporations are the worst of us - parasites that are expert in extracting wealth from us, who then try to kid us that their abuse is in our best interests. Those people who accept government are failing to recognise what poor psychology they have wrt government. They are the enablers of a narcissistic beast. You would NOT accept the behaviour that government does from a person, a person you would hold to account, but you justify and argue for government to be part of the solution! Amazing. If you think those undertaking the abuse are going to resolve the issue they themselves present to you, you have it wrong. Until you recognise your frailties, and how you yourself are enabling their abuse, nothing will change. The promised land of a clean earth or whatever, will not be achieved while the worst of us are seeing opportunities to make more money and take greater control.
