Popping in to reference the documentary work of Adam Curtis https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Curtis
You should be more focused on the complete monsters of those documentaries rather than the system used by society. Monsters have always existed and always will exist regardless of the system. Drawing attention away from them and letting them hide in society just let's them get away with it.
I think you are missing the point. The system is the monster. It's what creates, gives power, hides, and protects those people so they can get away with it. Sure, all societies have horrible people, but only one system rewards and protects the worst of the worst and guilt trips and kills anyone else who tries to reveal or oppose them.
Cool. Not getting into an argument about capitalism vs communism here or in my previous statement. Think I have done that enough on Lemmy and I only had one great conversation about it with 1 other person who didn't have a snide remark or sound like I kicked their puppy. Most of Lemmy seems to get all rabid about capitalism no matter what topic. I didn't even say a thing about it. You assumed it. You downvoters assumed it. So, again, you do you.

I try my best to have my kid stay ignorant to politics , but sometimes it's hard. Ignorance is bliss until you can't escape.
You're part of the problem
