1. Most routine, normal behaviors are criminalized in an Inverted Totalitarianism like America
One doesn't realize the extent of the Virtual Skavery of Corproate NeoFeudalism unless one tries to test the bars, even accidentally.

We are so thoroughly overmedicated by drugs and TV, that we couldn't even comprehend it even if we tried - which is one of the purposes of dismantling public education and returning education as the sole province of the Ruling Class.

(except the bare minimum we peasants need to keep the Global Aristocracy's toilets running)
