The article is written by a political activist. Might as well include solar activity and locust plague map to demonstrate how much the world is on fire.

Also school plants into children some biases that later used by authorities for divide-and-conquer.

E.g. the school told me that I belong to some ethnicity and that there are other ethnicities I should know about. As a child I couldn't care less. Why would they tell me this if ethnicity doesn't even matter for future job?

Another example is socio-economic system classification: capitalist vs socialist vs fascist vs monarchy etc. Why does it have to be so clean-cut categories? Like if you're not in one camp then you have to be in another. Just another divisive tool.

So they do want to create the work force but they also want to prevent any sort of revolt and thus plant psychological leverages in peoples' heads. It is a science of social engineering that they don't teach in schools.

I was homeless and a stranger gave me an apple. I washed it and sold for $.01. I used the proceeds to buy 2 dirty apples, washed them and sold for $.02. Then I learned that my grandma died and left me with $1M inheritance.

The US just can't do anything to these countries. Too far from the Middle East.

The US can't do anything to the companies either. It is private business, you see? Corporate personhood. For non-corporate persons there is FATCA.

> I'm not saying the whole n-as-a-service culture is a bad thing.

Is is not a bad thing, it is a horse @#$*! It smells with rentier capitalism and serfdom. Especially IP and copyright which is just a global cenzorship in disguise.

Lack of control and dependency on third-party is what I don't like the most. All I want is to buy a thing and forget about the seller.

We need something like this for wealth.
