Brother @straighttalk, thank you for visiting this publication, welcome.

They do this in so many ways even beyond those you have mentioned in your post.

That's true, the methods I list here are few compared to the multiple forms of domination, manipulation and control that people use to subdue their neighbor. However, this gives us an idea of what we live and what we are exposed to.

Going forward, access to equal economic opportunity for all is vital in ensuring true freedom for the human race.

Unfortunately there is a lot of economic inequality and access to information, this limits us and makes us very vulnerable to manipulators

Great comment friend, thanks for letting me know your opinion.
