Society is a machine.
We are pieces of this machine, morals and norms are its motor, the dominating class are its mecanicians.
That's why we are all starved into submission.
Because we, as a society, encourage this machinery. Because, as Weil said, we were forced to believe that we need this system to make a world.
"By not having the time to think about the machine, you end up becoming the machine"
~ Simone Weil based on Karl Marx, "l'aliénation du travail".
