The game for human society were and are always the game of "the few" control the masses for their own benefit.

The few use whatever tools they have to fool, force the majority to work for them as slaves. Too bad that majority are way stupid to know what is good for them. They always die for the good of "the country". The few always hated the middle clase. Through thousands of years, this game plays again and again and again.
Things will only reset when "the few" over play their hands. And only when life became unbearable for the majority. Then they will ask for a change.
