The United States is interminably in debt and the people running the government are interminably corrupt. The Catholic church protected pedophiles. The same politicians keep getting elected to office and the new Pope is celebrated throughout the world. The reason sports on television is so profitable is that the viewer's visual cortex is telling the brain things on the TV are real. We react emotionally to what we see on television as if we were part of the sporting event. When we see the pomp and circumstance of the new Pope we get a happy limbic response. There can be no revolution, no change without deprivation. We have to be in a fight, which is hard to do when we are so well entertained. Video games are so addictive because physiologically and emotionally they resemble the real world. We have become satiated with our entertainment and as a result, we haven't the strength to fight. Our emotions have been co-opted by the glowing box, phone, and computer. Our destiny is in the hands of others because the masses are satisfied with a virtual reality.
