It really isn't even personal, it's so basic.

For whom does the government work?

The problem is simple, the solution is complex. But maybe this is what it takes for people to see it, even though it's so blatantly obvious. So much at stake though

It's not about winning a zero sum game, it's more like tug of war between ideologies. "Dominating" an 'enemy' is nonsensical.

I keep coming back to The Hunger Games. The Capitol and its culture. Both are descriptions (though dramatic for storytelling purposes) that we all understand and it kills me how accurate it is.
