Plans Within Plans

This world scares me. The more I dig, the more corruption I find, and it’s all information we’re sitting on, incredibly oblivious to. These big corporate and government juggernauts are unchecked, and they are SMART. They know how to sway the masses, they know how to experiment and they know our weaknesses - and if they don’t, they experiment more to find out. Almost every major event or report in the news has a purpose in furthering someone’s agenda - and sometimes it’s not even a secret, people just ignore it.

How am I supposed to navigate this? Do I ignore it too and hope for the best? People aren’t smart enough to rebel, the fear instilled in them prevents an appropriate uprising. People used to go to war over taxes, now we’re complacent with everything.

I’m mostly worried about the people close to me, I hear their conversations and all I can think about is how they’re falling for these ploys like unthinking drones - not thinking anything more of the news they consume. To them, everything is surface level.

I wish I had the ability to intuitively unravel every scheme and secret combination I come across. I wish I could see intentions and agendas like a map in front of me. I wish I could expose the deeply-rooted evil in our societies. Hell, I wish I could find the deeply-rooted evil in the first place. This isn’t just a fantasy, it’s a fear. I’m deeply afraid of what these authorities can easily get away with. This is their game - their world. I just wish it wasn’t.
