Most of us are fully aware that we have been enslaved at this point. Who our masters are, however, is a question that far less are able to agree upon.
Many will have you believe that it's the governments of this world holding the proverbial whip. This can't be true though. They have presented us with a great number of statutes that we can choose to adhere to or not. Our ignorance in confusing acts for laws, and consequently allowing ourselves to be governed by non-laws that we don't even agree with, does not amount to slavery- only laziness and stupidity.
Perhaps even more will tell you that it's not the government, but the corporations, who control what all the world's governing bodies do through lobbying(legalized bribery). This can't be true either. Sure, the corporations are essentially writing legislation at this point, but again, that legislation can only be used to govern us with our consent, and as far as I can see, the corporations are not forcing us at gun point to consume their products. We still have a choice, at the moment.
No. The corporations are not forcing us to perpetuate this system of modern slavery either. But neither is it a group of ancient families, or Jesuits, or Jews, Freemasons, or the Illuminati. I see none of these communities dragging you out of bed by your hair and forcing you to participate in a system that breeds poverty and mass suffering. You can't even blame this shit on the devil, for it's even said that he possesses merely the power to tempt, and it is us who then has to make the choice on whether to give in to that temptation, or to rise above it.
No, my friends. None of the above possess the power to breathe life into such a system. They may have found themselves at the helm of this ship, but you and I are the wind beneath the sails, providing them with the power to direct society as they see fit. For this world exists as it does only because of us. If not for our belief that we are owed something from this world, and that we deserve our slice of the pie, then this ship would come to a halt by days end.
It is our sense of entitlement and our desire to have more than our peers, or more than we need, that fuels the unstoppable vehicle we call modern society towards its destination; a digital dictatorship. We will continue to oppress ourselves and each other until the moment we realise this is not a game. It sure looks like one, and that is by malicious design. But, you cannot win a game without creating losers; so in a game where losers end up dead or on the streets, one should think twice before playing.
Consumerism is the new world religion.

It is true, most of us have been rolling merrily along, with little regard to anything outside of ourselves. It certainly has come to no good. Many are becoming aware that we can do much better. True it may be to little to make a big difference as quickly as we need, but it is never too late to turn things around for our sakes and for all. Time for action not words. Courage not fear, and unity not isolation. Thanks you for your thoughtful post. Peace and goodwill.

This is a very pertinent point.
However, society moves slowly.
These are the first generations that have been born into a life where you name a baby when it is born. People used to wait 3 months because infant mortality was that high.
These are the first generations that grow enough food for all. Starvation used to be a thing. A widespread thing.
Now, for the first time ever, we have enough. It will take a little while for people to realize that, and change the language, and changed the teaching for the next generation to live with an abundance mentality.

Excellent point. We've been conditioned from a very early age to adhere to this life of slavery, to the material, for a sense of well-being. We cannot begin to rise above it until we become aware of it.....bringing it to light like you have, is a beginning.

Brutally accurate and honest. We keep complaining about not being able to repeat the same careless patterns over and over, and always blaming this on somebody else's "ability" to do so; calling it opression. Though it does exist, not everyone's entitled to the same fuck-ups lol. Guess people will continue to be people... and many, cattle for the future. 2018, it sounds like a time for us to rely on awareness and awakening, now more then ever (repeat time after time, year after year).
