I won't be so naive as to say that the only way in which those who own the largest shares of capital, unknowingly through the workings of social cultural conditioning, want you to remain as unaware as they are about what true happiness consists of. No.
Because some if not many of them ARE aware. And they don't WANT you to be aware. Because that would mean they wouldn't be able to sell you their products. They wouldnt be able to control the most powerful of things - ideas.
Because it is ideas about what is cool and isn't cool that drive our day to day happiness above our basic needs. And as long as these people can keep you from understanding what it really is, the more they can get you to consume. And it is this acceptance of ideas and the resulting consumption, that at a global level upholds their continued wealth and dominance. We wouldn't want to change that structure now would we? Specially if those same possessors of wealth are who supplied us with the capability to live our mediocre but "happy" lives with the hope that one day we will also with striving and with luck, join their ranks. So, not only is it a control of ideas and access to ideas but also take note, the structure of oppression is encoded into the backbone of society today. And there is only one force working against this. And that force is awareness. So it is not surprising that as we see awareness of this fact spread amongst people through the Internet, that they slowly try to lock it down and tie down information.
However knowledge can't free a person, but awareness can. And awareness is dangerous.
Those who hold the capital want you to be in a form of sleep. Rushing from one thing to the next, trying to satisfy your greed and insecurity.
If you look around you will see that other than the businesses that supply you very basic needs, the rest sell you concepts, they prey on your greed and fear in the multitude of forms.
So the key solution, the antidote to this disease of sleep inflicted upon you and mostly of your own doing is to build awareness.
Ask questions.
Gather knowledge and share it.
Learn real history.
Put the big picture together.
Focus less on fads and more on principles of good living.
Raise and share awareness.
If you do these things you'll start seeing change. You'll start being change.
