“Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” These words by Lord Acton encapsulate the history of humanity: the downfall of nations and the rise of tyrants. Political systems often present themselves as structures built to serve, but beneath the surface lies an indestructible apparatus designed to exploit the masses. These systems are crafted not for the people but to fulfill the ambitions of those who seek dominance. At their core, they are tools for willing tyrants—those who manipulate laws, institutions, and narratives to maintain control. Any shred of humanity within these systems is systematically eradicated, replaced by greed and obedience. Under the guise of governance, they become weapons of suppression, upholding the power of the few while leaving the many to languish in stagnation and despair.

The system is so deeply entrenched in history, so ancient and immovable, that it has become indistinguishable from the fabric of society itself. Its tyranny is not concealed—it is plain and glaring—but its age has granted it a veneer of legitimacy. People grow up within its confines, unaware of the chains it places upon them. It has been normalized to such an extent that questioning it feels like heresy, and dissent is met with dismissal or punishment.

The system’s greatest triumph is its ability to convince the masses that its cruelty is natural, its flaws unchangeable, and its injustices inevitable. Over time, this blind acceptance ensures that even the oppressed contribute to maintaining the status quo, perpetuating the cycle of submission and control.

Even when cracks in the system begin to surface, the audience it governs is unworthy of bringing forth meaningful change. Generations of indoctrination have dulled their senses, stripping them of the will to rebel. Conditioned to accept their roles as passive spectators, they remain too apathetic or fearful to challenge the machinery that oppresses them. Those who dare to speak out are often silenced, their voices lost in a sea of indifference or funneled into hollow gestures of reform that amount to nothing. The masses, groomed to be complacent, are either too disillusioned to believe in change or too complicit to desire it. In a world where the majority refuses to act, tyranny becomes immortal.

This unending cycle of corruption and mass ignorance weighs heavy on the land, creating a burden that grows with each passing generation. The rot spreads slowly but relentlessly, feeding on the apathy of the masses and the insatiable greed of the elites. The people, blinded by ignorance and conditioned to see the system as eternal, remain trapped in a cycle of servitude. They are left to bear the weight of poverty, injustice, and despair, while those in power rise unchecked, reaping the rewards of their domination. This imbalance tips the scales irrevocably, ensuring the inevitable decline of the masses. The land, once fertile with potential, becomes barren under the weight of exploitation, its people exhausted and its resources drained.

For the elites, however, this collapse is not a tragedy—it is a calculated victory. They thrive in chaos, using the ruins of society as stepping stones for their own gain. They ensure that the system never fully crumbles but instead limps along, just functional enough to maintain their rule. The decline is engineered to affect only those at the bottom, while the top remains insulated, untouchable, and poised to rebuild the system in their favor. And so, the cycle continues—a never-ending loop of decay and control, where the masses bear the brunt of suffering while the powerful emerge unscathed, their dominance secured by the very ignorance and apathy they cultivate.
