Noone is strong enough to rebel in this system - unless they have nothing to lose at all. The system spares no resources in trampling down any dissent. There is no justice, no separation of powers - there is rampant abuse of power and secrecy.
In a world where public opinion don't matter anymore and that is not going to rise as one for a greater cause, I 100% agree with your comment. I always end up to the same conclusion everytime I spend time thinking about how change is drastically required but sooo out of reach and unrealistic. The only way it happens is when (I say when not if because it will inevitably happen) the collapse of our society is so out of control that the elite can't control the narrative anymore. I don't know anything either but I somehow feel this is what's waiting for us around the corner.
I always forget about aliens. Maybe I'm lacking imagination (one less thing to be anxious about) but I feel like this would be ok or at least a very quick outcome.
For myself, I’m too much of a rebel to truly conform, but I feel this pressing sense of guilt from my rebellion. Guilt like I am a loser, an outsider, a bad person, you name it.
It’s funny, I voted honestly in the poll knowing I would certainly be in the minority (I don’t personally feel the pressure to conform as I’m a life long non conformist and currently disabled and unemployed with a supportive family)…but then I realized that I actually DID feel the pressure to conform just then, to give an answer that was supportive of the premise of this post. Lol
My religious upbringing taught me/afflicted me with good(?) disassociation skills. I can perform conformance. Though only so far. The real me inevitably bleeds through. The trick is to make even the act of being me a performance. At least slightly entertaining so that it’s laughed off as “David being David”. A very limited bit of nonconformity. Non threatening, though prolly limiting career prospects. ;-)
By necessity I'm in group 3, by the way. I'm not strong enough to rebel.

Thank you Antonio🙏

"Not having an opinion — “being apolitical” — is perfectly fine" For clear and independent thinking, it's required.
