Let’s get one thing straight, folks. The problem is not just one politician, one party, or one election. That’s the puppet show! That’s the part we’re allowed to argue about while the real power sits comfortably behind the curtain, untouched, unbothered, and still getting richer either way. That's why we will NEVER vote our way out of this. It's deeper than that.
What we’re actually living under is oligarchy. An oligarchy is a system where real power is held by a small group of elites, usually the wealthy, well-connected, or influential, rather than by the public, even if elections and democratic institutions still exist.
We are ruled by a permanent power class that doesn’t run for office, doesn’t lose elections, and somehow wins no matter what we do. The government isn’t the final boss, lol, not even close. It’s middle management. The customer service desk. The smiling face that tells you everything is fine while the machine keeps moving in the same direction, which is never in favor of "we the people".
This shit system always benefits the same people and spoiler, it's not you and me, my friend. Our outrage becomes a product. Our attention becomes currency. Our life becomes something to manage, market, and monetize. It’s not some secret smoky-room fantasy, it’s structural, it’s baked in, and it’s everywhere you look.
So how do we fight something that embedded?? Not by screaming into the void. Not by picking a team and yelling at strangers online like that’s revolutionary. The oligarchy loves that shit. It keeps you distracted, divided, and completely harmless.
The real threat to oligarchy is people who are hard to control. People who aren’t easily scared, easily bought, or easily herded into the next manufactured panic. People who build independence, real community, and resilience outside the systems that feed on dependence.
This isn’t overthrowing anything overnight. Unfortunately. It’s about starving the machine slowly, steadily, and deliberately, by withdrawing what it needs most: your fear, your attention, your obedience, and your participation in the circus.
I wish I had answers and solutions, friends. I wish I had a plan of action. This post isn't about that, obviously. Moreso just to bring attention the beast we are facing. The oligarchy doesn’t collapse when people get loud. It collapses when people stop playing along. I don't know the "how" part, but maybe ny discussing and sharing this post, someone smarter than me might have a suggestion. Stay hopeful, my friends.
