A lot of people just want their daily dopamine hit.

A lot of class traitors will defend their lifelong, generational oligarch oppressors to defend that pathetic dopamine hit.

The oligarchs rule without end with 2 simple tricks:

  1. Stoking social division between the peasants, ie abortion back and forth, civil rights back and forth, and...

  2. making the labor class dependent on shallow social opiates, like for profit social media, to make them afraid that disrupting the system that crushes them will cost them that next shallow dopamine hit that is the only thing they have to look forward to.
