Most of us don't want to admit we're even being raped, even if we know it's happening. If we can keep up appearances, we'd rather do that then go through the long slow painful process of doing something about it. Nobody wants to admit they're affected.
As for protesting, you can do that through your lifestyle choices. Be careful with your money. Spend less than what you make. Wait for things you want to be the right price before you buy them. Don't buy designer things that cost 4x as much. Review all your monthly bills and make smart changes. Do without. Drive an older car, if you need one. Diversify.
Every one of us has an opportunity to "game the system" by being responsible. Take control of your life. The rape is really most effective when people ignore its happening, so don't be one of those people.

Yeah. The worst problem of human nature. Normal people can not STAND to be wrong. I can and will admit to being wrong very very easily. I never did get why everyone else wrecks their whole families lives with a need to be right. NOTHING is EVER fixed when you are always right. And we all learn something every day if our fucking brain is open.
Me I always get deals on everything. Even when I had money. Never owned a new car never will. Not even if I won 100M tomorrow. I'd go and buy a 1996 Fleetwood. Sure I would build the motor up and do some little shit like wheels and console shifter conversion. But really if I had 100M I'd probably put 25k into a nice Cadillac and be satisfied.
Everyone wants more more more because they are empty soulless lemmings. They don't care where the money goes when they buy something. I do. I'll pay more if it's going to a cancer society for young kids. I'll pay nothing if it's going to killers.
