Living standards are higher than ever and we have a society filled with people who have been pampered and spoiled their entire lives. We live in an age where even the poor have to worry about obesity rather than starvation and malnutrition.

It’s no wonder why people have become so weak and why so few resist when tyranny approaches. The ones that do resist tend to be the ones who forgo a modern lifestyle.

“Poor” is a relative term; they’re only poor in comparison to people who currently fall into the middle or upper classes. These “poor” are very well-off compared to the middle class of 50 years ago.
