Why don't you tell us exactly what you mean, so that we don't have to guess. When you assume, you make an ass out of you and me.

Because over the course of... Well... Time, the wealthy have schemed to rule by creating a world of religious techno-slaves. We have almost no control over the miltary industrial complex and little legal support, if there isnt someone buying out the law.
Our government is all by satellite and we have no more ability to own land unless we are fabulously wealthy. No say in the behavior of the courts who spend their time exploiting the poor.
There is no sovereignty here. We're born into a system of complex rules that no one agrees with and given no education about it. Every single public institution is corrupt. We focus on maintaing the value of artifacts instead of creating real value. We save shitty shit so we don't have to take responsibility for the upsettingly exponential upkeep it all requires. Fucking stupid.

Because 50% of your population are below the average intelligence
