Obedience is embedded into our culture. The PMC/petty bourgeoisie is often unaware but sometimes aware that it enforces the rules that uphold the system.

We outnumber the ruling class by billions, and they're terrified of us, but the revolt won't start in the West.

The neo-colonies (Global South) are better prepared, motivated, intelligent, and light years ahead of Westerners. Hopefully, we overcome the white supremacy and arrogance that conditioned the disregard of foreign (non-white) nations. We'd learn more from them than they'd learn from us.
