If you think about it, we're born into a system we never agreed to, forced to follow laws, pay taxes, and work just to survive. There's no real "opt-out" button—you can't just leave society unless you go off-grid, and even then, you're still technically under some jurisdiction.
Borders, citizenship, and governments basically trap people in specific places, and even if you want to leave, most countries won't just let you walk in and live there. It's like an open-air prison in a way—some cells are just bigger and more comfortable than others.
Democracy is sold as "rule by the people," but in reality, it's just a controlled system where a small group holds power, and the rest of us follow orders. The choices we get—like voting—are usually between candidates who serve the same elite interests. It's like choosing your prison guard; no matter who wins, you're still locked in.
And if you try to truly break free—refuse to pay taxes, live completely outside the system, or challenge authority—you're punished. That's not real freedom. It's just a more sophisticated form of control, where people think they have power when they really don't.
