How is tyranny effecting your life right now?

Depends on his financial status. Lower income members of society have it pretty bad, especially those with health problems.

Depends on his knowledge and if he's intent on spreading the truth. People who spread too much truth are assassinated.

Depends on how much of a sheep he is. The more of a sheep you are, the happier you are. The more you learn the truth, the more depressed, stressed and anxious you get.

Depends on if he's in the 1% of children who are trafficked by the government. He may get raped, tortured, killed and eaten.

Sick people are sick and have hard lives, that's not anyone else's fault.

Surely it's the opposite, those who want to be part of the system have to play by the system's rules. A couple of outliers, no one cares about.

Those kids are trafficked by men. You well may know some of them. Vulnerable women and girls are oppressed the world over, it's generally not called tyranny but misogyny.

I don't think that's true. There are a lot of 'sheep' who are very depressed and anxious (who wouldn't be when just following society's rules and working endlessly?)

And for many, hearing about the corruption and everything doesn't make them depressed or anxious. I can only speak for myself, but I really try to just focus on my own life and my family and enjoy the small things.
