What would happen if kids found themselves playing a game that was rigged against them and actively hurting most of them?

I'm pretty sure they'd change the game and/or make a better game.

Unless there’s an adult hovering over them forcing them to play the game OR they get locked in a cage with mentally ill and violent people.

Then what would the “kids,” do?

Comply out of fear.

Just as we're seeing today with people saying taxation is theft, but paying their property taxes anyways....

It's always the first few waves of people standing up that get fucked up the most.

So no none is going to.

It won't be the poor, we barely even have houses.

It won't be the rich who benefit from the system.

And there is no middle class anymore.

System working as designed.

Not broken at all.

If the game is big enough, one waits until the team leader or coach etc. is distracted and then just walk away. Our problem is the game has so many hooks to keep people just involved enough not to walk away even when they are hurting. The game is devious and well established, with most of the real rules hidden from the players. People keep playing even when they suspect it is coming to an end because they don't know any other games. If enough people got together at once to demand the rules change, they might stand a chance, but the managers are starting to control even the private speech between players...

What a time to be alive huh? Lol

The Chinese have a curse "May you live in interesting times!" Seems like our times are a lot more interesting than we really would prefer!

it's so easy to believe in lies

we did some zap tests on this note… we made six attempts to⚡zap this note, at nostronaut@cash.app, over a period of 30 minutes. Six of the zaps were successfully paid... please check for 6 satoshis received. problem: we found that your lightning address server **did not* properly produce zap receipts, and/or didn't send the zap receipts to the relays specified in the zap. (the zap spec requires that the zap receipts be sent to the relays specified in the zap.) this means a nostr user who zaps you might not see a number appearing next to the ⚡ icon after zapping.... if you wanted to fix this... you could try getting a free rizful lightning address -- https://rizful.com ... if u get it set up, pls reply here so we can do this ⚡zap test again.

No, they'd keep asking their parents for money to give Microsoft for Xbox live / Nintendo online / whatever the trendy thing is
