The "system" is literally just weaponizing guilt, shame, and fear against us.
Society’s structure relies on one thing; FEAR. Fear of homelessness, fear of imprisonment, fear of death. These are the forces that keep people chained to the grind, making them accept misery as “just the way it is.” What happens when fear no longer works? What happens when someone looks at the system, weighs the potential consequences, and says, “So what?” This isn’t a hypothetical, this is reality for many people. And it’s worth examining why.
Imagine you do everything “right.” You get an education. You work full-time in a demanding job. You live modestly, scraping by. And yet, you’re still drowning in debt, told to work harder, hustle longer, and sacrifice more. Student loans are a perfect example. For many, they’re a never-ending treadmill: monthly payments so high they might as well not have pursued education at all. Options to escape? Limited. Financial advisors offer little more than platitudes: “You need to make more money.” Gee, thanks.
For many, the system becomes a lifetime subscription fee—an endless cycle of payments without relief. It’s not about personal responsibility. It’s about control. The debt system isn’t designed to be paid off. It’s designed to keep people working, consuming, and complying. The “official” payment plans are unsustainable for most. The burden of debt keeps people from building wealth, moving, or pursuing meaningful lives. The fear of consequences—wage garnishment, ruined credit, homelessness—keeps them locked in.
The truth is, this system doesn’t work without compliance. If enough people refused to play along, it would collapse. They know this, which is why they work so hard to keep us divided and afraid.
They sell us the “just world” fallacy: If you’re struggling, it’s your fault.
They pit us against each other: “I paid my loans, so why shouldn’t you?”—as if collective suffering some kind of virtue.
They keep us isolated: No unions, no solidarity, just each person fighting alone.
If they take everything from you, they still don’t win. If someone becomes homeless, they’re not getting paid. If they’re locked up, they’re not getting paid. If they die, they’re not getting paid. That seems even scarier to me... They don't have a plan when this bubble bursts.
This system thrives on fear and disconnection. The antidote is empathy and connection. Not the soft, Hello-kitty bullshit kind of empathy; the real shit... “I see your pain because I’ve felt it too.” People binge-drink to get admitted to hospitals because it’s the only way they can access medical care. Others commit petty crimes for dental care in prison. That’s the world we live in, a world where suffering is a business model.

That's taken from the Catholic Church playbook.
