Fears to an equal money system: Part 4 of 5

What did they fear to lose? 
 Some gave the indication that they feared to lose individualism. And others feared they would lose proper compensation for the work they did. Another reason with people who have means, (those that have more money) like the idea of prestige that they have in there “class” and are proud of it. Thus they do not like the idea of equality so they may hold onto there idea of being special.
In my observations of the response to a solution to end world poverty, I would say that most people have become desensitized to the suffering that poverty perpetuates. Many would rather look the other way, or they are too busy trying to survive to make ends meet and they do not have the time to care or become activists. I believe that it’s because of how our monetary system is set up, in the way that people are kept too busy through low paying jobs and advertising, to make sure they do not have the time to make a difference. This allows the ones with money to make the laws that support the wealthy, and not the whole of humanity. Most people have developed a type of Stockholm syndrome.  The Stockholm syndrome is a term used to describe a condition or happening when someone starts to like, or even enjoy, and subscribe to ones conditions that would be labeled by an outside observer as to ones disadvantage, not to ones liking, repulsive, and which one would rather escape. We have allowed ourselves to make ourselves “believe” that we like what is going on!   Many defended their slave jobs because they now have this identity of who they are within being able to endure this. They have talked themselves into being proud of their diligence to provide for their family and feel everyone should pay their dues. They totally forget, or choose not to see, that their enslavers do not work for a living, but just plan ways to keep themselves in power by exploiting the lower classes. Another factor within keeping the Stockholm syndrome going is the drinking of alcohol, which was introduce to the slave class thousand of years ago, but this is another paper. There are of course many other factors. Religion is one of the largest corporations in the world. Most religions actually teach us to accept our Stockholm syndrome because it supports the idea of “acceptance of what is” and endurance until you go to heaven.
