Very interesting video. I just wanted to get some of your opinions on the matter; what you think of our government, and where it's headed.

I'm only a slave on Friday nights while I'm with Mistress Helga. I'm a free man the rest of the week.
"He". Who is "He"?
"He" seems to be the man with the plan. We all, for the most, agree with his plan, so how are we enslaved when the enslavement is done on a voluntary premise.
Your school indoctrinates you to fit the goals of "He". Or your school educates you to do well within the various constructs of the normative society.
Regardless, you are attending school to make your parents proud. Or to make yourself proud. You are getting an emotional gain, regardless of the wishes of "He". You can also gain a significant amount of material value from this. Since how we quantify values are relative to the individual, as are the ideals of values, we are not being short-handed, unless we accept and follow the values of "He".
Same can be applied to your job. Or raising a family. What "He" wants is not a question pondered by you as you go about your daily lives. The question pondered, is what you wan't. Not what "He" wants. So "He" benefits from your mindset. Well, so do you. "He" and you are working in symbiosis with eachother, and you are both getting a gain from it. The word "enslavement" and the concept of "human farming" is a narrator playing semantics with us. You can easily turn the argument around, and make the enslavers the enslaved, by the will--be that controlled or not--of the slaves.
Still, who is "He"?
... Us perhaps?
Them, us, they, we. Many times in history, the one who overthrows or just changes is worse than the one he deposed. For some reason this narrator gives me this "You all must conform to my way of thinking, or else you are slaves" vibe. Which is just a different way of getting to the same idea."He". Who is "He"?

Also; they're invisible because they are fabricated in your own mind, sir.
...Just throwin' this out there, I'd rather be able to choose my career, choose where I work, choose where I live, and all that. Paying taxes is not that big of a deal, and if you want to talk relative to the video, I'll pay a percentage of my wage to not get lashed with a whip any day.
I wanna be a human farmer. *Hands out free beer*Dystopian-X...Dammit, free beer, my only weakness! Your wish is my command.
