This is faulty logic ignorant of the reality of how banking works. People of the conspiracy type love to believe things are fixed against them and have a static world view. These people like to think a normal worldview is accepting victimization. Therefore by rejecting the normal world view they also believe they're rejecting victimization. The problem is the indirect affirmation they are victims and must fight endlessly against a system.

Ultimately, these people will find it necessary to reconsider themselves in relation to the societal self and others to effectively cause change. This is not an easy task. It is much easier to claim total corruption and stagnation. When doing so doesn't change their personal lives they seek to use their fallacious logic. It won't work. There will be orange activation until the emotional complex is balanced to move towards polarized action.
You are using quite the broad brush to judge all those who see things differently than you.
We currently live in an era of corrupt government. Just ask the people if you don't agree.

I personally think you are in full blown denial if you think our financial system is honest, for if corrupt individuals exist within government, wouldn't one think that the focus of their attention would be the financial system.
That said, the balanced spiritual approach to this problem, in my view, is to focus one's energy on creating a new system rather than fighting the old corrupt system or living in denial of corruption.. But that's just me
It is simply not my intention to be judgmental. Your fallacious argument as to why the government is corrupt is not convincing. People who believe the government is corrupt obviously would affirm so if I asked them. To say I am in 'full blown denial' is a character attack, btw. In your defense you did make a concession. The machinations of the world for the Alt movement get grossly simplified to fit into their world view. In general as you seem to agree, there is a loose usurperous attitude of avoidance instead of actual conversations on how the system can be reformed. People of the 'New Age' shoot of the Alt movement believe in change by non-participation, which won't work.
What is not appreciated anymore is every social-economical change was won to the fluffy-spiritual people. On the other hand activists are not willing to listen to opposing views and push theirs by identity politics.
The problem is having the conversation to create a coherent and organized platform to fight for. I see the seeds of this. Yet I am not concerned or passionate.

"YOU ARE EXACTLY RIGHT! AND THAT IS WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE!! It doesn't matter what faction it is within this system, It's all the same! ONE TREE, MULTIPLE BRANCHES! AND IT IS PAST TIME FOR IT TO BE UPROOTED! The corruption I have seen. smh "We the People" Need to stand up, but that will never happen! This is why they created the hustle and bustle! This is why they "entertain" us! All to keep us distracted and looking to everything else instead of them!!!
We cannot continue to go to a system that was designed to hold us down, and expect change! It hasn't happened yet! And it will never happen! It is time for something new, as you said!!! A NEW SYSTEM! I have been thinking on this for a long time! Every faction of this government is corrupt!!! AND THEY HAVE THE AUDACITY TO PERSECUTE US AND JAIL US AND BEAT US AND ROB US! ITS UNJUST AND THE FARTHEST THING AWAY FROM DEMOCRACY! THIS IS THE LARGEST CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION ON THE FACE OF THIS EARTH! And they are all devils! Evil ass ppl!! And they are killing us! Had they not set up this world as such; there would be plenty of natural resources for all! And even without having options to kill offspring, minimizing populations!
