> you go up against the system and you will find yourself royally fucked. Best to accept your plight, take control of your destiny, stay out of trouble and you will do just fine. Anything other than that and you are setting yourself up for ruin
This is unfortuntely true. The system is so large and entrenched that opposition is impossible, especially on an individual scale.
any time this anon has challenged it, or threatened its institutions with compromising information about them (which anon has done quite a few times even when fairly young), terrible things have happened to anon's life.
Most anything that appears to be a large scale challenge of the system over the past few centuries has just been engineered by the top of the system itself to further its own goals.
Humanity seems to have been playing a losing game from the start.
It shouldn't be this way, but unfortunately it is.
