The government of course. The thing is, if every person had the idea and faith in their heads that if they themselves do their part, and trust everyone else to do their part, we can beat the system, we're just nowhere near that stage yet though, and I don't know if we'll ever be. A classic example would be a group of friends who are about to pull a prank and moon someone, now they get ready to do it but at the last minute they pussy out, why? Because everyone did not trust each other to follow through, and they did not want to be that one person left doing it by themselves, because that's pointless, isn't it? No one wants to go on a crusade to fight the power if no one else is along for the ride, and well the government does their job of keeping us in check, people like us who realize this kind of shit are automatically put in a situation where we are at and disadvantage if we try anything, so therefore we don't try anything. It's all a system set up for us from the day we're born, you follow the government you succeed, you try to rebel, you get fucked over.
