at this point, most of us were born into it.
by the time we were born, it was so entrenched nothing but horrible bloodshed could change it.
we've been inundated with news and media since early childhood not to rise up for that change and many of us have (until recently) been left comfortable enough that we don't want to risk what remains.
we've been made to believe (by the aforementioned propaganda) that we can vote in real change. some of us still want this to be true. it's becoming apparent this may not be the case. we're terrified.
Even if change can be voted in, its pretty obvious now that it can be undone pretty easily as well. Change is at best temporary.
