yup that is the system,. however you left out the inherent theft that is the monetary system,.

money is always devalued (inflation) so yours is worth less,. the new money created is given to the rich banksters, for doing nothing, the people are made to "invest for retirement", since just saving money that is constantly devalued by the inflationary nature of the monetary system, where money is based on debt, will not pay for retirement. Thus we all run on the little wheels of the banksters who always profit,. and never lose. The wealthy use their wealth to extract more wealth from the people,. endlessly. Only problem with their set up it that endless growth that their pyramid scam is predicated on is just not possible on a planet of finite resources, thus the current "downturn" is actually, the end of growth,. and the beginning of a new era.

peace.

There is a long history of CRUSHING dissent in the good ol' US of A,. look into it, I suggest;

A People’s History of the United States by Howard Zinn.
Read about COINTELPRO,. and on and on. It goes deep. Dissent is always repressed, so the 1% can maintain their wealth and control, but you know that right?

The Internet? No, we are talking about XKeyscore and the private-mercenary intelligence systems being grown by the NSA to "fight the war on terror", like that is an actual thing. Oh, can I opt out of XKeyscore? I was not aware that was an option, can you point me to the web-form to fill out to get that done? I'm sure that would not open another file anywhere.

lol, there are prohibitions of pot smoking, so no one has ever smoked pot?

Grow up, they did not build skynet not to use it.

The crushing of every progressive movement before it get started is not happening,. of course not. COINTELPRO never happened, no one killed the Kennedys,. and America is a center-right republican. Sure.

Why would the 1% want to use the systems they built to control the population, to actually control the population? Well, I will let you figure that out, but is seems rather obvious.

Planetary awareness is mandatory for forward movement, the internets should connect all people,.

and even the biosphere and many systems of the planet as well. We need to know what is happening halfway around the world, as it is important to us too, since this is one world and we are all connected.

The sustainable solutions already exist, we only need to stop the greedy from controlling the resources as they now do. The 1% run the show currently, and the people allow themselves to be deceived, divided, and controlled by the few.

A wave of mass extinction is underway, and we are causing it. If we do not modify our behavior, inevitably we will topple the balance and undermine our own existence. Human dieback is the outcome in this scenario. Extinction is a very real possibility for us humans, if we continue to damage the web of life that gave rise to our existence and sustains it.

Sadly, many folks have convinced themselves that we exist outside, or even above, the natural order. Some have 'faith' that an invisible-man-in-the-sky will whisk them away in his light, or some such makebelieve. Reality is that we are silly hairless monkeys who have great potential to do amazing things, however we must learn that in this universe consequences always rise from every action. Faith is the willful denial of reality, and it is a dangerous tool, used by the greedy few to manipulate and control the many. If we can not move past childhood fantasies, and deal with the greedy 1% that are destroying the planet for short-sighted gain, then we will get what we deserve.

Life in some form sure,. but HUMAN LIFE will grow more and more precarious, and much uglier.

We are rather needy creatures, and require loads and loads of resources,. without massive shifts from the corporate-military profit motive based systems,. to low impact, sustainable, and even remediation to stabilize the biosphere, humanity is in a bad way.

We really need to be using the remaining perto-resources to build sustainable systems that will make life possible/livable for future generations, or major systems collapses and massive human die-back are the inevitable outcomes.

I don't see the situation as bleak, so much could be done, degrowth, permaculture, etc. however, I do see the lack of actual movement by the major players to be beyond bleak, as time is simply running out, with the last of the petro-fuels and other resources.
