It seems that you sincerely feel disdain and oppression in a way that Buck and I don't. The question I have is why do you put up with it? If I lived in a place with as much weight as you are carrying around I would leave it. Really, that is the only way your taking control of this issue.
Carry weight? That's your term. I tend to view it as a search for peaceful human interactions. In that search, there are no sacred cows or acceptance of what is as the best we can do as humans. I do have a penchant for pointing out hypocrisy though.
As far as leaving, isn't this the land of the free? Besides isn't permission to travel required? I don't like to ask for permission to do things that are nobody else's business.
I'm not looking to control any situation (or other people), except to peacefully live my own life. So I try to do that when I can.
As far as disdain, sure, I don't like institutional violence resold as compassion, that's not a secret. Why do you like it? Do you find it acceptable to benefit from services that require funding thru coercion?
