Imagine life as a video game where you must find the way through a maze, discover keys and find treasures in order to win.
For example, you must find a way to sustain yourself (a maze), find the key to health (power) and avoid the beasts (corporate control).
People spend thousands of hours playing all sorts of games but neglect to properly play the game of life, instead they accept what they are offered by the power players.

The difference is that in video games there are rules that you have to follow and you’re actually allowed to win.

Real life the winners already won and wrote the rules

The cheat code is unionization.

Wildcat strikes. Unions can be infiltrated.
